Fun for Life GO

Fun for Life GO helps you stay active, healthy and connected from home.

This new online platform combines ideas from the City of Victoria’s experts in fitness, programming for children and older adults, and outdoor recreation, with links to other helpful resources to help you and your family stay healthy and well.

We miss seeing you at our facilities, and we want residents to know our recreation staff are still here for you even though we can’t get together right now. Physical, mental and emotional wellness are closely connected, and Fun for Life GO supports residents with ideas and information to stay active and connected until we can get together again.

So, find a safe spot and get ready to stay active, healthy and connected with Fun for Life GO!
