By Kristen Calis [email protected] THE BLANKET IS THEIR CLASSROOM AJAX — Comments collected from the public regarding the movement of men- tal health beds will not go to waste, says the Central East Local Health Integration Network’s communications lead. “It’s all important,” Katie Cronin-Wood said. “It’s all being rolled up into the plan.” The Rouge Valley Health System and the CE LHIN have been consulting the public and stakeholders, such as the police and emergency medical service providers, over the past couple of weeks regarding the mental health unit at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. The CE LHIN approved RVHS’s plan to cut up to 220 jobs and move the men- tal health in-patient unit from Ajax to Scarborough’s Centenary hospital in late March and invoked a consultation period from April 4 to May 4. RVHS has learned from a peer review report it has to better manage its money since it has $78-million in long-term debt and capital deficiencies. Consolidating the mental health unit is projected to save $600,000 each year.

Anytime Fitness Inspires Ajax’s Anytime Fitness’ motto is ‘real people, real results’ and this mantra couldn’t be more exemplary of its owners. The Ajax location is the fi rst Anytime Fitness club to open in Ontario and is part of a larger network of more than 1000, 24- hour, co-ed gyms in the U.S. It is independently owned and operated by Andre Avigdor and his wife Nathalie. The opening of the Ajax location is a result of the couple’s own personal transformations in 2003. Through a change in lifestyle and physical exercise, the couple lost a combined total of 160 pounds in less than six months. “After one month of eliminating junk food, eating six small meals a day, and exercising, we were so happy with the results that we adhered to the same healthy lifestyle for several more months,” said Andre, adding “The weight kept coming off. I couldn’t believe that I traded my keg for a six pack.” Andre was so inspired by the changes he saw in himself and his wife that he left his previous job in software and devoted himself to inspiring his friends and family. Eventually his devotion turned to opening a local branch of Anytime Fitness. “I realized that I had a passion to help individuals reach their weight goals and help them transform their bodies,” said ENTER TO Andre.
