Taking a walk today rather than your car may be just the ticket to getting yourself in better shape.
And the Grey Bruce Health Unit is doing what they can to make sure your community is more walkable.
Health Promoter Jason Weppler says two forums take place today to ask for input on how to make the Grey Bruce area more walker friendly.
At the form will be internationally renowned speaker and consultant Gil Penalosa as he talks about active transportation in Grey Bruce such as walking and biking.
Weppler says these forums are your opportunity to have your say on how you would like to see the trails enhanced in Grey and Bruce.
The idea for the forums came from the PLAY in Bruce Grey physical acclivity collaborative in which the region is promoting physical fitness.
Weppler is promoting physical fitness is imperative to Grey and Bruce because studies released show three out of every five residents of Grey Bruce is overweight or obese.
The forums take place at the Grey Bruce Health Unit office in Owen Sound today from Noon until 3 PM and 6 PM until 9 PM.
Weppler says they are free admission and include a meal.
