I think we need to have more public saunas at our community centres. The only available public sauna outside of the large chain gyms (which would require a regular priced monthly membership to access), is at Allandale Rec Centre. There is much emerging scientific research demonstrating that 20 min in a sauna at least 4x/week has significant positive impact on cardiovascular health as it mimics moderate aerobic exercise. It also reduces anxiety and has brain benefits as well. So, for folks who are not as active as they’d like to be or perhaps have a disability or injury such that they can’t work out, this would be an ideal substitute. It would serve as a great addition to the services already being offered at the various rec centres. Thank you for reviewing my proposal!
