Putting It All Together - Support From Your Community
There's more to getting active than just making up your mind to do it.
An active living community helps make active choices easy choices by:
- encouraging families to be active together;
- promoting physical education in schools and encouraging use of schools
for community activities;
- promoting supportive physical activity policies in workplaces with
things like showers, fitness facilities, flex-time and secure bike parking;
- promoting physical activity in community parks, facilities, play structures
and special events; and
- sponsoring safe, active transportation through bike paths and lanes,
well-lit walking trails, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods, and secure
bike parking in association with local businesses. Look for and ask
about these things, which can often be found in your community.
For More Information
Physical activity is an investment in
your health. Make it something you want to do, not something you
have to do. Get active your way, every day -for life!
