SummerActive 2004 resulted in 100% more participant registrations than in 2003. About 78,000 Canadians registered their physical activity on the SummerActive web site between May 10th and the end of the campaign on June 19st. According to many SummerActive leaders, these events attracted participation by thousands more Canadians who did not register on the web site. Clearly the campaign helped to encourage Canadians to make regular physical activity, healthy eating and living smoke-free a part of daily living.
At last count, 298 SummerActive events provided myriad opportunities for Canadians to walk, roll, run, swim, cycle, dance, jump and skate their way to better health. Certainly, the campaign was successful in mobilizing schools, workplaces, sport or recreation clubs, health centres and other settings to create fun and stimulating environments for healthy living.
SummerActive is a terrific way to enhance a broad range of physical activity, healthy eating, sport participation and tobacco-free living initiatives. By linking with the campaign, partner organizations benefited from SummerActive resources, promotions and related activities. Leaders had access to helpful leaders resources, including SummerActive public-service announcements targeting specific populations, settings and age groups. Leaders and physical activity organizations were encouraged to take full advantage of SummerActive tools and to make use of them to support their local events and programs.
