SAINT JOHN, N.B. – Exhibits, challenges and demonstrations surrounding health and wellness will take over Harbour Station this weekend.

Saint John’s first ever Lifestyles Health and Wellness Expo will focus on giving the public information to help keep people mentally and physically fit.

Event organizer Mike McGraw says wellness is a huge issue, not just in New Brunswick, but across Canada.

“Whether it’s your physical health or mental health, we just want people to be aware of what is available to them in the community. Things like, we all eat out in restaurants; what are the best choices to make? Mental health issues, work place health.”

One of the big attractions is the fitness challenge that will take place every two hours and will feature several members of the Sea Dogs Saturday morning.
