Come out and join the fun at our Fearless Physical Activity event. These events are a chance to learn and try our a variety of fun physical activities for people of all ages and abilities living with congenital heart disease (CHD) and their families, to encourage an active lifestyle with out fear.  These events include an educational session to talk about fears and learn tips and tools to overcome fear and barriers to physical activity.  Events are also an opportunity to connect and network with other CHD families and build a support system within your local community.

Read some of the feedback from past events:

“A well organized event with an opportunity to try different activities. It was wonderful to interact with others who have CHD in an active setting.” Ottawa Event

“I enjoyed the afternoon. It was a great way to meet some people and learn about the breadth of activities we should consider in our everyday lives to improve our fitness and health.”   Toronto Event

“A great day! Wonderful to get together with other CHD folks, share stories and exercise together. Thank you!”  London Event

“ This was a great experience for my young daughter. She had a great time and made some new friends!”  Sudbury Event
