The Community Well is a health outreach program that supports wellness in our rural community.
This program is made possible through grant funding from Saskatchewan Lotteries and the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association and support from the Town of Foam Lake and the Saskatchewan Health Authority.
A portion of this funding is being used to create a Wellness Library, where community members can borrow printed health resources from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), Heart & Stroke, the Canadian Cancer Society, and Lung Saskatchewan. These materials are publicly available online but will now be more accessible to those who prefer or benefit from physical copies. Topics will include chronic disease management, nutrition, heart health, pain management, respiratory health, and cancer support.
In addition to educational materials, the Wellness Library will also offer a chair yoga for older adults exercise book with images and instructions, and simple exercise information, along with loanable equipment such as a floor pedal bike, resistance bands, and 1–3 lb hand weights to support safe, gentle movement at home. 📖 🧘💪🏻🙆♀️
The Wellness Library will launch on February 10 for participants in the chair yoga program and will then be opened to the broader community in collaboration with the Hall Walking Program 🚶🏻♀️. 📚Library days will be held one Friday each month at the community hall, alongside hall walking and coffee ☕️. Dates will be advertised and posted in advance.
⭐️Save the date: The first date is February 27th at 9:00am at the community hall. Join us for walking, coffee and conversation!
The program is organized by a group of dedicated volunteers, with a primary care nurse ❤️ on site during library hours to assist community members with the resources and equipment, provide blood pressure checks, and offer conversations about health, wellness, and supports available within our local care network.
The Community Well aims to reduce barriers, encourage movement, and create welcoming opportunities for learning and connection—supporting health and wellness close to home.
