Nature Walk for Health - Iron Horse and Spurline Trails Loop Walk

Spending Time in Nature: Gives your brain a rest. 

People who take a walk in green space instead of on a busy street have fewer repetitive, racing thoughts. 

Increasing outdoor time for your health is so well proven, that nature is being adopted worldwide as a health intervention and in Canada, healthcare providers can even write you a prescription for it, with BC Parks Foundation's PaRx program. Nature is becoming the fourth pillar of health just as important for staying healthy as good nutrition, regular exercise and sleep.

Whether or not you have a PaRx Nature prescription, we can help.

Here's how:

Our Walk March 11th, 2025:
