YORKTON A local gym owner has teamed up with the Fitness Industry Council (FIC) of Canada to lobby the federal government for tax deductions on physical fitness. In addition to the tax deduction, FIC is also hoping to see a Prescription to Get Active program roll out nationally. The program would see doctors giving patients a prescription to “get active” and would all gyms to fill the prescription by giving patients limited free access to its facilities. Jolene de Vries, who is the head of Saskatchewan for the FIC of Canada, said these programs will help improve the health of Canadians.
