What's New
Canada's Guide to Healthy Eating and Physical Activity
Regular physical activity and healthy eating are key to maintaining a healthy
lifestyle.
Canada's Guide
to Healthy Eating and Physical Activity does not replace the current
Canada's
Food Guide to Healthy Eating and Canada's
Physical Activity Guide to Healthy Active Living .
It is a combination of important points from both Guides into one document,
which promotes the benefits of eating well and being active and helps you
make wise choices everyday.
Physical Activity Contribution Program: Supporting Healthy Living
for Canadians
The
Physical Activity Contribution Program: Supporting Healthy Living for
Canadians is an important
means by which the Public Health Agency of Canada carries out its mandate
and achieves its goals to help Canadians improve and maintain their health
through regular physical activity. Recognizing that health is a shared
responsibility, contribution funding is also a means by which Health Canada
supports and engages the voluntary sector to effect change, improve situations,
and collaborate on activities of mutual benefit. Partnerships and collaborative
action between governments, non-government organizations, and other agencies,
help to reduce barriers and increase access to convenient, safe, affordable,
and attractive opportunities to integrate physical activity into daily
living.

Healthy Living Strategy:
The Public Health Agency of Canada, in partnership with the provinces
and territories, is working with other levels and sectors of government,
community groups, volunteer organizations, non-governmental organizations,
Aboriginal peoples, the private sector, academia, consumer organizations,
and others with an interest in healthy living to develop an Integrated Pan-Canadian
Healthy Living Strategy. The goal of this initiative is to build a healthier
nation, reduce health disparities and contribute to the efficiency and sustainability
of the health system in Canada by providing Canadians information and opportunities
to make healthier decisions that will lead to a better quality of life.
Initially, the Strategy will emphasize nutrition and physical activity,
and their relationship to healthy weights. For more information on the Strategy,
please visit: www.healthyliving-viesaine.ca.
