BUILDING MUSCLES, WELLNESS AND COMMUNITY AT TRICO CENTRE
F
or 40 years, Trico Centre for Family Wellness has been a place where people gathered as much for camaraderie and community as they did for amazing fitness programming. Community is at the core of the organization, and in partnership with the 34 South Calgary community associations represented on the Board of directors, Trico Centre tailors its programming to meet the needs of those communities around it. “Post-pandemic in particular, for people to have a place they can go for community, belonging, connection is huge. For a lot of members, they say the programs and fitness are great, but it’s the people that keep them coming back. There’s a real sense of community with members,” says Jeff Pratt, executive director of Trico Centre.
