Walk & Chat Group for Men & Women - Erindale Park
# Friday Walk & Chat Group
You asked and I delivered.
Join us each Friday for an energizing **Walking & Chat** event where movement meets connection. This is a great way to boost your health, clear your mind, and meet other positive members in the community.
Walking regularly can improve heart health, increase energy, reduce stress, and support overall wellness.
Our walk is done at a **good steady pace** with a bit of a hill, making it a great workout while still being enjoyable. The route usually lasts **about 1.5 hours**, giving you time to move, chat, and start your day feeling accomplished.
I also encourage everyone to get to know fellow members by chatting with different people throughout the walk. When we circle back to the parking lot, I often invite members to switch walking partners so everyone has the chance to connect and build new friendships.
Come ready to move, connect, and enjoy the benefits of fitness and friendship.
**Everyone is welcome!**

Maddaddam Ballet brings Margaret Atwood's Vision to Life
On **Sunday June 21st,** **see the final ballet of the Season - Maddaddam, a joint effort with The Royal Ballet in the UK!** To experience *MADDADDAM* is to be immersed in the imagination and unflinching moral acuity of Canada’s Margaret Atwood on subjects of rampant technological experimentation, colonialism and greed. Wayne McGregor’s 2022 co-production with The Royal Ballet brings Atwood’s post-apocalyptic MaddAddam trilogy to life, exploring themes of extinction and invention, hubris and humanity, spliced together with Atwood’s signature activism and connection to Canada. Scored by one of the greatest living composers, Max Richter, *MADDADDAM* is an unforgettable production for our time. My seat is Ring 3, Row C seat 321 and I hope there may be some takers. **Purchase Maddaddam on Sunday June 21st at 2pm.**
**COST**
Regular: $56 - 264 includes taxes and fees.
Rush: A limited number of tickets will go on sale at 11:00am on the day of the performance, subject to availability. Discounts vary per performance.

Ticket Policy: Sales are final and non-refundable.
**SIGNING-UP**
* **Simply RSVP Yes, [purchase](https://my.ballet.ca/3197/3206) your ticket and post your seat number and I will move you to attending.**
