Despite being forced indoors, the dedication, power, and spirit lit up the room as Z with C celebrated Mental Health Week. Mental health ambassador Christal Bowen highlighted the strong connection between mental and physical well-being, reminding us that together, we can take the ‘i’ out of illness and replace it with ‘we’ for wellness. Proud to be a part of a community that empowers each other through dance! Z with C has been supporting the Canadian Mental Health Association and all of its initiatives for over 10 years. This is an event Christal and her Zumba crew always look forward to, and this year was no different. The energy was elevated for the entire hour as everyone danced with purpose for a great cause. The one-hour event raised over $600 that was donated towards the grand-total. Many of the participants attended the dinner following the Zumba class to further support Mental Health Week Initiatives.
