What barriers do newcomers face to being physically active? What can we do to overcome those barriers at a program and policy level and personally? Lizeth Escobedo, Manager of Adult Learning & Immigrant Services for the YMCA of Greater Vancouver, answers those questions while sharing her personal experiences immigrating to Canada.
The Balance is recorded and produced by BCAHL’s Communications Manager on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Thank you so much for listening.
