BRINGING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER THROUGH MOVEMENT
WE MOVE THIS TOWN looks to promote physical activity in Antigonish
We Move This Town is a community based activity group that brings together people
of all ages and abilities for the purpose of moving and being physically active. This new
initiative was born out of desire to make physical activity inclusive, fun and free for
everyone to participate.
Once a week, the group gets together for one hour of physical activity. Past activities have included themed
running and walking events (Santa Shuffle) aquasize, skating, circuit blast, Zumba, and in the coming months,
activities will include low organized games, yoga, sports, step aerobics, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing,
just to name a few. There will always be a walking/running option for those who prefer not to participate in
the higher energy activities.
“Antigonish is such an active town, people are always out running or walking in the community. I thought it
would be so much nicer for people to move together as friends, rather than strangers passing by on the
sidewalk or trail. WE MOVE THIS TOWN is about strengthening our Community by investing in ourselves and
each other.” said Matt MacDonald, founder of WE MOVE THIS TOWN.
