Promoting healthy lifestyle and active citizenry by bringing residents of all races, religion, gender and age groups together through brisk walking and other related activities.
About the North West Brisk Walking Club
North West CDC has been championing brisk walking activity in the District since 1999. Since its inception, the North West Brisk Walking Club has attracted a steady pool of residents to participate in the zonal and district level walks. The brisk walking clubs are formed at the Residents' Committees (RC) and the Neighbourhood Committee (NC). Members include residents of all ages and race from both the heartland and private estates.
Each BWC will organise their own regular excursions at places such as the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, East Coast Park , Sungei Buloh, etc.
Besides Brisk Walking, the North West CDC also works with the Singapore Sports Council, Health Promotion Board and other grassroot organisations to promote a more holistic lifestyle through health talks and sports events such as gate ball and line dancing.
Currently, there are 128 brisk walking clubs with about 47,000 members in the North West District.
Monthly Healthy Lifestyle Walk
In addition to the regular brisk walks organised by the brisk walking clubs, the CDC also organises Monthly Healthy Lifestyle Walks to encourage more residents staying in the private estates to participate in brisk walking.
The programme kicks off with the residents going through a 10-minute warm-up session, followed by a walk in the surrounding peaceful neighbourhood and some light refreshments after the walk.
