A wellness crawl is being organized for later this week.
Amanda Maginley, with the Antigonish Wellness Collective, said the event is the brain child of

Carrie Colquit, an osteopath with the collective. The idea was to have an event where StFX students are invited to visit various wellness, health, and recreation related businesses and see what Antigonish has to offer. Maginley said over 30 businesses wanted to take part, and they are hoping for a lot of participation.
She noted the event helps breakdown the barrier of the initial meeting, adding it can be difficult for people who want to participate in something to make the first step and visit a new spot. There will also be a chance to pick up some swag and draws for prizes. An email will go out to students and posters are going up.
The event runs from 1-4p.m. on September 9. A sponsorship from the community health board and the Antigonish Chamber of Commerce helped with the rental of two busses, which will help students visit the various locations.
