What is Job Fair? (click)
A new date - Thursday, April 26th, 2007 “A great start to Kenora’s biggest and best Job Fair to date.” The numbers of exhibits and visitors to Job Fair have increased every year for the past 5 years, and it is time to move to a larger venue. The Kenora Curling Club is almost double the size of our previous location, and will accommodate more exhibitors and visitors. The Curling Club is centrally located, allowing for much easier access.

We
all know that muscles give us the power to lift boxes and grandbabies;
they also give us the power to walk, run and climb! Did
you also know that muscle is the primary energy consumer for your body?
Think of your muscles as a raging fire – if you toss a log into it, it
will burn up pretty quick. Fat on the other hand is like a single lit
match – it will take years for the match to burn up the log! Every
pound of muscle burns between 40 and 120 calories a day – just to
sustain itself; while every pound of fat uses only 1 to 3 calories!! If
you are over 35 and you haven’t added a strength training routine to
your activity list then you are also losing about 5% of your muscle mass
every 10 years! Think
of it this way – if you don’t intentionally rebuild muscle through
exercise, every ten years you will need to eat 120 to 420 fewer calories
each day to maintain your current weight!! You
can build and maintain your muscle mass by implementing a 30 minute
walking routine every day and a strength training routine 3 times a
week!! Make
your body a high energy consumer!!! Lift up, down, up, down, up down and
then get up and get going!!! PS:
You can now hear my Monday emails on my website – www.coulisconnection.com!! Make
it an excellent week!
If you have concerns about retirement, you don’t know whether you have adequate insurance coverage, and/or want to take greater control over your life and your future, you should plan to attend. You can
plan to attend up to four of the concurrent sessions planned for that
day. Room
