Dear Member;

Re: Fitness Subsidy

You may remember that the fitness Subsidy maximum was temporarily increased to $350 for the 2021 calendar year. Effective January 1, 2022 the maximum will revert back to $250.
 
As of August 4, 2021, the expense eligibility criteria was expanded to offer more flexibility and included:

• runners, skates, skis, kayaks, golf clubs, Apple watches, workout equipment etc).
• (E.g.   Ski lift tickets, golf green passes, drop in fees for fitness activities, bowling lane fees etc).

 
NOTE: The additional $100 was made available for any eligible expenses that were incurred in the 2021 calendar year.  However, the expanded criteria only apply to expenses incurred after August 4, 2021, and up to December 31st, 2021..
 
As of Oct 28th, 2021 only 194 members have utilized this benefit.  This is a reminder to ensure that you have taken full advantage of this benefit to which you are entitled.  
 
In solidarity,
