Chris and his family have been members of the Canada Games Centre since 2013. “The laid back atmosphere and people you meet at the CGC make it a great place to exercise” says Chris who takes advantage of the Aquatics, Fitness and Recreation programs offered each season. “My biggest motivation for living an active lifestyle is setting a good example for my two daughters - Molly and Lily.” Since Chris joined the CGC, his daughters have taken part in many programs and activities including the Toronto Raptors Training Camp and summer swim camps.” Chris says they also spend time trying new sports like Badminton, and with two basketball players in the family, the Field House is great for some extra practice. Chris’s future health and wellness goals are to stay active and in shape, but he works to continually challenge himself and get outside of his comfort zone. He spends most of his time in the Fitness Centre and his daughter is counting the days until she can join him for a workout. “I would also like to take one of the yoga classes offered to help improve flexibility.” In his spare time, Chris enjoys travelling, playing golf and hockey, and he coaches two youth basketball teams.
