  Limehouse Figure Eight Loop

  WhenTuesday December 9th, 2025  

  Time 9:30 - 11:30 am (EST)

  Spending time in nature reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease.

  A review of 143 scientific studies showed that spending more time in green space cuts your overall risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

  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.
