The City also presented the Kushiro Cup to Joanne Morgan, 2025’s Outstanding Citizen of the Year.

Women, in honoring our matriarchs in the month of May, I put out a challenge for us to reach 100,000 women about the message that strength training is crucial for health and encourage them to start
Don’t wait for perfection. It’s all about the commitment.
Once a woman makes a commitment, she doesn’t let go especially if the women who love her don’t let her
DM me with the number of women you’ve reached, and I’ll add this up.
Let’s reach 100,000 women and we’ll see the huge difference it makes on their lives and their families
Let’s get the job done!
Warmly
Brenda
