North Huron doesn’t mean actually
being in motion has to come to an
end.
Denise Lockie from the North
Huron Recreation Department says
there are many ways for people to
stay active and healthy without
compromising too much time. She
says that there are simple steps that
can be taken to ensure your work day
becomes a little more active, which
should ensure a healthier lifestyle.
Simple things like a small
stretching session, going for a walk
on lunch hour or even yoga can help
your productivity and your health
while spending those eight hours at
the workplace.
Activities around the township have
included getting active as a family as
well as getting active at work,
something Lockie thinks is very
important for Huron County’s
working population.
Lockie recently went to the Blyth
Festival and showed some of the
employees there how they could take
a small amount of time throughout the
day to stay fit. She said the area is
perfect for physical fitness and the
stairs leading up to the balcony of
Memorial Hall would be perfect for
walking, especially once the weather
begins to take a turn for the cold.
Alycia Collins, public health
promoter and co-chair of the in-
motion group says that adults should
aim to spend 30-60 minutes getting
active daily and that children should
be spending 90 minutes per day
getting active.
While those numbers may seem
large, she said, activity can be
accumulated in shorter bouts of 10
minutes.
“With winter around the corner, you
might have to change your routine or
try different activities that are indoors,
but don’t get discouraged from being
in motion,” she said.

Getting fit
In conjunction with Huron-Perth In Motion Month, Denise
Lockie from the North Huron Recreation Department, not
pictured, stopped by the Blyth Festival theatre to show its
employees how they could get fit at the workplace. One of
the ways was to walk on your lunch hour, easily
implementing 30 minutes of physical activity into the work
day. Janice Henry, left, and Sharon Thompson gave the
stairs at Memorial Hall a try. (Shawn Loughlin photo)

The Oakville Hornets and the
Saugeen Maitland Lightning squared
off in the final game of the Toronto
Aeros PeeWee A championship on
Oct. 18 bringing the three-day
tournament to a close.
Three weeks earlier the Lightning
defeated the Hornets in the
championship game in Alliston. This
time however the Oakville squad was
easily motivated for the contest. It
was a fiercely-contested match that
saw, at times,, some heavy body
contact during battles for the puck.
Oakville prevailed by a score of 2-
0 to take home the tournament
trophy.
As in the previous tournament
Oakville opened the weekend with a
2-1 victory over the Lightning.
Saugeen Maitland then won three
straight to earn their passage to the
finals. The Lightning defeated
Mississauga 6-0, Oshawa 6-0 and
Belleville 3-2 in a shootout.
Cassidy Becker, Mildmay and
Rebecca Ropp, Milverton earned a
shutout.
