The theme for International Men's Day 2024 is "Men's Health Champions" and aims to shine a spotlight on both the problems of men’s health and the people delivering the solutions.

The City of Logan has many resources and support hotlines as well as men's programs and groups to support men of all ages and backgrounds.

More information about International Men's Day can be found on their website, with free resources to get involved, including posters, social media graphics, videos and presentation toolkits.

From Stroke to Strength - Steve's Story

Following a stroke, Logan resident, Steve Martin, has attributed his significant cognitive and physical recovery to playing walking football, a low-impact, slower-paced version of football/soccer. His journey is a testament to the transformative power of staying active and getting involved in the community.

Walking football is part of the Active & Healthy program, which offers free and low-cost activities for the Logan community. Watch Steve's video and then explore stories of positive change from other Logan residents by following the link below 👇
