Snowshoes
Exercise is harder to maintain in the winter, but the Echo Centre has something to help you out! Snowshoes are a great way to get out walking in the wintery months and the Lending Hub has snowshoes ready to be loaned out! Please contact the Echo Centre to request a pair.
Kicksleds
Kicksledding is great cardio exercise and is an alternative to cross-country skiing. This equipment provides more stability on snow or ice and is also great for families. Get outside and active this winter and borrow a kicksled from the Echo Centre.
