The Nipissing-Parry Sound Public Health Unit is trying to reduce the number of falls among seniors. In conjunction with the North East LHIN, it’s organizing a series of exercise classes in North Bay and Corbeil. Carole Orris of Corbeil is a 71-year-old senior who says the free classes have given her strength and balance she didn’t have before. Orris says before taking the classes, she fell down regularly. Figures show that about a third of people 65 and over fall each year. For information on the classes click here
