The Senior Fitness Around Town will provide Tecumseh residents the opportunity to participate in a variety of fitness programming to increase physical activity and help lead engaged, active and healthy lifestyles in a recreational environment.

Older adults (55+) and seniors will participate in approximately one-hour a week, physical activity over a six-week program period. Tecumseh older adults and seniors will be exposed to a different physical activity each week, during the six-week session, such as pickleball, aquafit and fitness programming.

Registered participants will receive their own fitness equipment related to each weekly activity, where applicable. Program costs, including fitness equipment, are provided under the Senior Fitness Around Town Program.

Peche Island is an 86-acre island located on the Detroit River between Windsor and Detroit that was purchased by Hiram Walker in 1883. Walker used the island for a summer place, and his buildings included a stable, large home, greenhouse, and icehouse. The property was sold in 1907, and then the City of Windsor acquired the land from the Province of Ontario in 1999.  It is now a naturalized park with walking trails.
