For many of us, the dawning of a new year brings our health to the forefront. Seaside Magazine is happy to share with our readers this resource guide to some options for Nutrition, Fitness and Mental Health on the Saanich Peninsula. Of course this is not an all-inclusive list, but a selection of possibilities for local spots that can help with whole body health. This list has not been vetted, so please do your research before using any of the services.
