The Excel program is an exercise program, designed by Calgary University, and is for people diagnosed, going through, or having survived cancer. That program is free, runs for 12 weeks, but participants must start at the program start date. The "Life after Excel- Strength and Resilience" program is for participants who have completed the program and are looking for something to transition onto. It's also set up for anyone who has been affected by cancer. You can join in the program and transition to Excel once a new cycle starts, or just hang out in this program. The program aims to equip you with the key skills to use the RECC facility or any other facility.
