Active Aging Week – September 22-30

This year’s Active Aging Week theme “Many Journeys, Many Designations,” recognizes that older adults choose to travel along individuals paths based on their interests and needs. All Active Aging Week designations are free, and showcase the opportunities in Western North Carolina to optimize physical, social, and mental well-being.

Come help kick off Active Aging Week by taking a wellness journey at Land-of-Sky Regional Council’s Wellness Expo on Monday, September 24! There will be free health screenings, samples, healthful snacks, exercise demonstrations, and much more!
