Mayor Naheed Nenshi is issuing a challenge to all Calgarians.
“I have launched the Mayor’s walk challenge to encourage people to a get a little more walking into their lives, I try to get my 10,000 steps in but in particular to encourage young people to walk more,” said Nenshi.
He’s asking all of us to get out and enjoy the outdoors, as he marks “Winter Walk Day” with the rest of the province.
Wednesday afternoon, over the lunch hour, he was joined by a group of students for a 15 minute jaunt around Pineridge.
Nenshi told reporters he’s been pretty good at finding time to get in his own exercise.
“I have a fancy fitness tracker that I wear and I try to get my 10,000 steps in every day although when I met with Gary Bettman last week, he has the exact same tracker and he said 10,000, you know you can change the alarm to 12,500. So now I have a new challenge,” said the Mayor.
