The Shaun T Community Workout is expected to draw a thousand participations from Halifax and beyond for an inspiring community workout experience and motivational talk from the renowned health and fitness expert. This will be his first-ever visit to Nova Scotia, and the event is generating a buzz. The workout and motivational talk was launched in April on social media, and VIP tickets quickly sold out. General admission tickets are selling briskly, but many are still available for the event (see link below).
A blend of academic and community innovation
One of the things Dr. Shaw is most excited about is seeing the community as well as academics come together to look at the best we have in health care, and then examine how it can be even better. 鈥淏y bringing these two groups together, we can create an exciting platform for change going forward, and explore innovative measures towards a healthier life for all Canadians,鈥 she says.
鈥淗ealth is a multi-faceted and complex issue, but it can be addressed,鈥 she continues. 鈥淚 want people to leave the conference energized and aware that through partnering in this way, we can provide opportunities for our students, faculty and the community to find health solutions. The conference will facilitate the exchange of ideas and creation of new partnerships, in order to create a solid foundation for advancing health.鈥
