    Finding Balance 

    ​

    ​

    Finding Balance is a national program developed by the Injury Prevention Centre at the University of Alberta and is designed to raise awareness of preventing slips, trips, and falls among older Canadians. Naturally, the risk of falling goes up as we get older. The Finding Balance program uses real life strategies that older adults can use to lower their risk of a fall.
