Umme Sardar

June 2020

Umme Sardar has been an active member of the CGC community since 2019. Having moved from Ontario to overseas and then back to Canada to be near family in Halifax, Umme has the nicest things to say about how CGC members and staff made her feel welcome. Active from a young age, she says fitness is a way of life for her and she stayed motivated from home with our May and June Fitness Challenges. She calls the CGC her happy place and has been a regular since we reopened.
