After a long winter indoors, getting active again can feel both exciting and challenging. Join us this May as Colin Mathieson shares practical insights on transitioning back to movement, building momentum, and making the most of the warmer months ahead. From the benefits and drawbacks of a more sedentary winter to simple, realistic ways to get moving again, this session is designed to meet you where you are.

Colin brings a unique and inspiring perspective as a four-time Paralympian and three-time World Champion in wheelchair racing. Now a Social Worker at Deer Lodge Centre supporting both the PRIME and Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs, he combines lived experience with professional expertise to help others build confidence, resilience, and sustainable activity habits.
