This week's Seniors Month spotlight is Niagara Region’s Healthy, Safe and Strong program.

Healthy, Safe and Strong helps older adults stay active, build strength and improve balance in a safe, welcoming group setting through free exercise classes led by certified personal trainers.

Participants say they have more energy in their daily lives, less pain, more mobility, fewer doctor appointments and a reason to get out of bed.

The program also offers health and wellness education and resources that support long-term independence and well-being.
