The newest participant in the 2007 Sports Week activities was the Dahn Human Technology Association, a non-profit organization promoting healthy lifestyle and showcasing “tools for authentic living”.
Dahn Yoga, also known as Dahn Hak, is a Korean form of yoga. During Sports Week, two free daily sessions were offered at 9:45 a.m. & 5:45 p.m. at the two Dahn Yoga Centre locations: 2395 Cawthra Rd. (905-281-3467) and 1010 Dreamcrest Rd. (905-858-0036). For the first 15 minutes of each session, the Dahn Yoga trainer walked participants through the yoga basics. Class sessions started with the trainer leading the group through a series of holistic yoga exercises. The emphasis was on breathing and stretching exercises designed to benefit the body, mind and spirit.
Thanks Dahn Yoga and HTA for adding a new dimension to Sports Week.

The calendar said it was still winter, but visitors to Square One Shopping Centre on Saturday, Feb. 24 were treated to an early whiff of summer living.
What was up, you ask? - it was the conclusion of Mississauga Sports Week festivities – the ever popular Sports, Camps and Leisure Show where visitors discovered recreational opportunities.
This year again the Mississauga Sports Council pooled resources and partnered with Square One and The Mississauga News to showcase a day-long
event that provided a many-splendoured experience. The Sports, Camps and Leisure Show had something for everyone – demonstrations, displays, special events, a chance to connect with various
sports organizations and explore recreational opportunities. “Sports Week is always an exciting event and this year’s Sports, Camps and Leisure Show
was a fitting finale to a kaleidoscope of activities,” says Cathy Rudisi, Sports Council Co-chair. More than 45 groups, representing a wide range of recreational, leisure and sporting interests were on hand, ready and eager to showcase and promote
their various programs, goods and offer spring and summer sport and recreational registration appealing to various age, range and interests.
Throughout the day, Centre Court was a beehive of activity as a variety of sports were demonstrated. From volleyball, to gymnastics; floorball to judo and boxing; crowds gathered to see how it's done then headed to the exhibit booths to look into signing up.
