Tsawwassen Wellness Centre instructors and staff are riding and raising funds for mental health by participating in the Ride Don't Hide event this June at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.

To kick off the fundraising campaign, the centre raised $1,150 in December by offering a Pilates mat/equipment class by donation.

Team captain Anne Johnson is inviting members of the public to join the team and ride or walk with them on Saturday, June 21. Go to www.ridedonthide. com/bc/ride/greater-vancouver (TWC Pilates and Health) to join or donate to the team.

"We are passionate about helping people achieve better health, happiness and meaning in life," says Tsawwassen Wellness Centre owner Linda Mallard. "All of our programs are within the mindbody practice of health and fitness. That is why we are joining the ride on June 21 to help support programs that improve mental health for all in our community."

The centre is offering more classes by donation at Tsawwassen Springs. There will be a Hatha Yoga class on May 21 and a Pilates Matwork class on June 18, both at 7 p.m. For more information, contact the Tsawwassen Wellness Centre at 604.943.8823, visit www.twconline.ca or drop by the studio at 1333-56th St.
