Community Wellness Programs are an extension of the Fitness and Wellness Programs offered at the Canada Games Complex. You can find your favourite classes and instructors closer to home. We run out of various schools and community centres in your neighbourhood.
While the Canada Games Complex is remains closed for renovations, all fitness classes will be held at the 55+ Centre (unless otherwise noted) and are open to everyone to register. This temporary location will be for classes August, September and early October. Stay up to date about all of our fall classes and class times by following the City of Thunder Bay Community Wellness Facebook page.
