Shaunavon’s new wellness and leisure director is ready to play – SwiftCurrentOnline.com

There is a new Director of Wellbeing and Leisure in the town of Shaunavon.

Alexis Hunt has taken up the role and looks to continue her predecessor’s legacy of community engagement.

The Director of Wellness and Recreation is responsible for Shaunavon’s fitness, sports and public facilities that revolve around these themes, such as the local hockey rink, pickleball courts and curling rink.

Hunt is happy to have landed this position, having been a part of the Shauanvon fitness community for a while.

“I’ve done a wide variety of things,” Hunt said. “We’ve also opened a gym in the town of Shaunavon, so we’re committed to the well-being of this community as it is.”

Hunt and her family moved to Shaunavon 11 years ago from Manitoba. She has previous experience not only in the fitness industry, but also as a former paramedic. She has a degree in kinesiology and has two children with her partner.

Her two sons are very involved in sports, which inspired her to take on this position.

“As I looked into it more, I realized it was a really good fit,” Hunt said. “It has a lot to do with my passions and also things I’ve done in terms of experience, so I thought it was a really good fit.”

If anyone would like to partner with the City of Shaunavon for a sporting or fitness-related event, they can contact her at the City Office or email her at [email protected].

“I would really like to create a diverse and inclusive recreation and wellness sector for our community,” Hunt said. “Get everyone involved, even those who don’t participate in traditional sports. I want to involve all aspects of the community and get everyone out and involved in recreational activities.”
