INSTRUCTOR BIO

 

Abbey is passionate about accessing healthy mental and physical connections to body movement. Her love for physical activity truly began when she was introduced to activities like hiking and sea kayaking. As a guide and outdoor enthusiast, she’s learned that physical activity and movement contribute greatly to positive mental health. Her interest to share the joy of exercise with others motivated her to become a certified personal trainer through the British Columbia Recreation & Parks Association.

  • Class may be cancelled by instructors if they show symptoms.
  • In the event of a participant or instructor showing symptoms during the program, the participant will be asked to remove themselves from the program and seek medical advice. Beyond daily screening, is not up to our staff to do temperature checks, testing or contact tracing. This is the role of the health authority.

Staying safe is a shared responsibility. These procedures and our combined efforts help to lower the risk of spreading COVID-19, but there is still a risk.
