They were all part of the fabulous Fanny Bay Health Festival. The event brought together elements of wellness in the bigger picture – physical, emotional and mental wellness for self, for others, and for the environment that we all share. The beautiful Fanny Bay Community Hall was filled with information, products and interactive displays including how to prepare for an earthquake or other disasters. There were demonstrations in the hall throughout the event (the belly dancers were amazing!), and free classes upstairs if you were interested in more in depth information, or trying a new activity. The building hummed, drummed and rocked all day with holistic common purpose. The Power of R message – “Better Choices, Better Future” integrated perfectly. The choices that we each make every day, about what we eat, and what we do and what we purchase impacts our collective future – and that includes the waste that we produce as a result of our decisions. You know – better Choices for a Better Future actually defines wellness. Add Comment | AuthorGayle Bates is a Youth Waste Reduction Educator for the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD).
