I think it's beneficial. I don't havebig arms but I've got muscles."

Windsc/ Mayor Drew Diikenssaid tne city is taking a lead rolein ensuring all residents have ac-cess to amenities that help im-prove their quality of life. Whetheryou're eight years old and going toa neighbourhood park or 108 andliving at Huron Lodge, Diikenssaid it's important to encouragehealthy and active living.

"If you are living at a long-termcare home there's reason for it,"Diikens said. "Your mobility maybe lessened and you may not be asactive as you once were. This helpsencourage and promote active liv-ing and we are happy to do that,especially in an accessible way."

Each piece of the outdoor equip-ment is adaptable so those with orwithout mobility issues can use it.Oskar Rauscher, vice-presidentof the residents' council at HuronLodge, is in a wheelchair. He testedout the equipment and believes it'sa great investment in residents'health. He loves that he can work onhis upper body sitting in his wheel-chair while breathing in fresh air.

"The day it was put out and theylet us go on the concrete I was outhere," he said. "I'm an outdoorperson."

Windsor's first female mayor,Elizabeth Kishkon, is a HuronLodge resident and avid walkerwho was pleased to see the addi-tion of the outdoor equipment.

"I think it's very important, andI think we should all start thinkingabout physical health from a veryearly age right through to old age,"she said. "If you sit around and justwatch television, you age muchfaster and you get sick faster."

The equipment is part of Wind-sor's 20-year strategic plan to im-prove the quality of life for resi-dents.ksteele@postmedia. com
