Keep Well Antigonish is run by the Keep Well Antigonish Society, a non-profit whose mandate is to provide free fitness and wellness programming to seniors in Antigonish town and county. The aim of the program is to strengthen and maintain our seniors’ physical fitness, mental well-being, and social connectedness so that they can lead productive, enjoyable lives and be vibrant members of the community.
The Keep Well Antigonish Society, which runs the Keep Well Antigonish Exercise and Wellness program for Seniors, is a non-profit society that has been operating since 2018. The program is run entirely on grants, donations, and the work of a number of volunteers. The inspiration for Keep Well Antigonish comes from North Shore Keep Well (keepwellsociety.ca) that has been running a similar program in North Vancouver for over 30 years.
