Thunder Bay's 2 largest health care providers are challenging staff, physicians and volunteers to get out and practice Tai Chi ... an excellent mind + body exercise as part of Mental Health Week 2005. The goal is to have the most paricipants come out over lunch hour to learn Tai Chi.

Tai Chi Masters will be located at 5 sites throughout the community, leading others in the practice of Taijiquan. Master Peng You (President of the Canadian Organization of Traditional Taiji Quan Associations) will "kick" off the challenge at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre at 11 am Monday morning.

We would like to challenge the citizens of Thunder Bay to Practice Mind + Body Health this week too. Take time out from your busy schedules and join us for a "healthy, friendly, and happy" way of exercising your mind as well as your body!

Tai Chi Locations:

Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (3rd floor)
Lakehead Psychiatric Hospital (Trillium Hall)
St. Joseph's Hospital (Smith Centre Gym)
