BCRPA Approval

The highly regarded evidence based Surefeet Fall Prevention Balance & Mobility Progam that has been ongoing since 2010 is regularly requested in many areas throughout the Lower Mainland.  On a weekly basis there are 19 classes in locations across the North Shore.  It is our goal to accommodate Seniors in the many areas surrounding Vancouver who are requesting this type of program in their neighbourhoods. 

The need for instructors of Seniors' balance & mobility programs with a focus on fall prevention is imperative especially due to the growing Senior demographic.  This growing need coupled with the continuous requests that we receive from those interested in instructing these classes  prompted the development of the Effective Balance & Mobility training for Seniors 2 day workshop (EB&MTS) which has been availabe since June 2014.

In October of 2016 this workshop was granted British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) approval for 12 Continuing Education credits (CEC's ) upon successful completion of the workshop. 

In addition to strength, flexibility and cognitive enhancement activities some segments of the workshop are as follows:

• Assessment Procedures & Interpretation
• Specific Activity Progressions (core of the workshop)
• What is Successful Aging
• Effects of the Aging Process 
• Medications and their Effects
• Info re Diseases/Disorders

All information included in the workshop is exceptionally practical and the knowledge that can be obtained would be advantageous to anyone working with Seniors.

For those who have completed the 2 day workshop a 5 hour refresher course is available. 

Upon successful completion 5 CEC's will be granted.
