Fitness Field Trip: Skating on the Rideau Canal

Skating - 2In our Fitness Program, we try to take at least one field trip per season, so that our young moms can enjoy an outdoor fitness activity. We also try to choose activities that are low-cost or no-cost, and those that they can continue to enjoy with their children for years to come.

Skating - 3This past week we took our Fitness Class skating on the Rideau Canal! It was a beautiful, sunny day for a skate, and they enjoyed the experience thoroughly!

Youville Moms Skate the Rideau Canal!

On a snowy day last week, a group of Youville moms and their teachers braved the cold and enjoyed a fun and exciting field trip to the Rideau Canal! Everyone laced up their skates and bundled up in their winter gear; both of which were generously donated and loaned to our students by donors and staff members. It is always so wonderful when we can combine our Fitness Program with a fun-filled field trip and offer our young moms an experience they may not otherwise have the time or resources to experience.

Our Youville moms showed off their graceful moves and positive attitudes during this skating trip, and they enjoyed getting out on the canal for a unique fitness class.

If you’d like to support our skating trips in the future, we are always hoping for donations of skates, winter coats, snowpants, mitts, hats and scarves.Please contact us at (613) 231-5150 Ext. 128 if you’d like to donate.

Happy Skating, everyone!
