Walking outside might be frightful, but the Western Financial Place concourse is delightful.

With this current cold blast of winter and some slick sections of sidewalk around the city, residents are encouraged to go for a walk on the Western Financial Place concourse.

Research continues to support walking as an excellent form of exercise with a variety of personal benefits. These benefits include lowering blood pressure, reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke and increasing bone density. Health benefits can be realized with as little as 30 minutes a day of brisk walking.

The concourse is available from 5:30 a.m. –10 p.m. daily, closed at 4 p.m. on Kootenay ICE game days and closed all day during special events.

Please note, to access the concourse, you will be required to purchase a one-time security card for $5, available at the Leisure Services front desk. The card system was implemented in 2009 to ensure better security for the facility and its patrons.

For more information, please contact Leisure Services at 250-489-0220.
