GoodLife is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Giving back isn’t just the right thing to do—it goes hand-in-hand with the core values that drive our business.
The Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “Act”) requires that Canadian businesses state actions they have taken to prevent and reduce the risk of forced labour or child labour within their supply chain(s). GoodLife is committed to advancing this effort and recognizes our responsibility to protect children and support safe and ethical working conditions around the world.
We believe the health of our communities, and the people we serve, goes hand-in-hand with the health of our planet. While we are early on in our environmental sustainability journey, we recognize our role in mitigating the impacts of climate change, and are committed to doing the work necessary to continually evaluate and improve our environmental performance.
Land Acknowledgement
GoodLife Fitness was founded on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek (Ah-nish-in-a-bek), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-no-show-nee), Lūnaapéewak (Len-ahpay- wuk) and Attawandaron (Add-a-won-da-run) Peoples, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land, and the land on which all GoodLife Fitness Clubs operate, continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of our society.
