School Programs
We offer a wide variety of programming to schools to enhance the activity levels and knowledge of both students and teachers. Our school programs include information on healthy lifestyles, physical activity, nutrition as well as a wide variety of fitness classes to keep the students and staff moving! The recent Canadian Health Measures Survey indicates that youth spend 62% of their day sedentary. The revised Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Children and youth state that 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is needed to elicit health benefits. Whereas the Canadian Health Measures Survey shows that only 7% of Canadian Youth accumulate 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity 6 days per week.
