🤣Who knew you could pack so many laughs into one round of mini‑golf?⛳The wit, the sarcasm, the friendly jesting — it was all out in full force.
🌦Despite a very “maybe… maybe not” weather forecast, we went ahead with our Poling and Putting at The Sunny Spot. And honestly, it couldn’t have been better. No rain.🌧No bugs.🐝No smoke.🔥No wind. 💨
Just pure fun, good‑natured ribbing, and some seriously great food served up by The Sunny Spot.🍔🥗🍟🍗
After supper, we took a walk around the inviting, creative local community 🏡— the perfect ending to a perfect outing.
✨And, congratulations to Bobbie and Janice on their holes-in-one!
Let’s do it again next year.
Poling and Putting is just one of the Special Events we host throughout the year at Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness.

Around here, we don’t just walk — we laugh😅, we play, and we make memories.
Remember...you don't have to go fast...you just have to go!

🎉 Toot toot! Can you hear that? Disclaimer… that’s me tooting my own horn😁.
Most people don’t know that to maintain Fitness Alberta certification, instructors must earn 12 CECs (continuing education credits) every two years. That means workshops👩‍🏫, webinars💻, online courses✏️, and staying current with CPR and First Aid. It’s a commitment. And I’m happy to share that I’ve just renewed my certification for another 2 years👩‍🎓! Some of the courses I completed this cycle include:
• Group Choreography Freestyle Basics • Managing Grief in Group Fitness • Motivational Interviewing • Fitness Informer Articles: Series 5
🤩I genuinely look forward to learning and keeping up to date on a wide range of health and wellness topics — and I love passing little bits of that knowledge along during classes. Whether it’s Nordic walking, line dancing, resistance training, step aerobics, chair exercises, or any of the other classes we offer at Drumheller Nordic Walking and Wellness, we hope you leave feeling stronger💪, supported… and maybe learning something new too.

😜Apologies for getting behind on sharing our Outdoor Walking and Wellness adventures — summer has a way of sweeping us along. A few weeks ago, we travelled🚌to the hamlet of Dorothy, a place with roots stretching back to the late 1800s.

💕We were incredibly fortunate to have local historian Frank Roes guide us through the buildings⛪at the rest area and share his personal memories of growing up in Dorothy. His stories brought the history to life in a way no book ever could.

😔Unfortunately, we also learned about recent vandalism and theft on properties that are generously kept open for the community to explore. It’s heartbreaking, and a reminder of how important it is to respect these treasured places.

🙏Thank you to the volunteers who take care of the structures and the land. Every time we visit, I comment on how we should have an old-time family dance🤠and potluck supper🍯out there to raise funds for the upkeep of the buildings. Stay tuned. It may happen yet.

In the meantime, if you’re in the area, we highly recommend a stop in Dorothy. It’s a beautiful slice of Alberta history, and well worth the visit.👍
