What is this 1School 1 Day thing that you’ve been seeing posters and blog posts about??

On One Day this September, participants of 1s1d will come together for an hour of motion to support education in Ethiopia.  Participants will choose where they move from a list of health and fitness affiliates (and the Zone is hosting some classes!). Together, people all over will share the experience of moving together towards this cause.

The goals of this campaign are to:

  • get 5,000 participants moving at the same time all across Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island
  • To unify the Health and Fitness community towards a great good
