Get Up, Go Out, Be SummerActive!
Annual initiative helps Canadians improve their health

One of the most fun and easy ways to enjoy a healthy lifestyle is to participate in SummerActive. SummerActive is an initiative organized by the Government of Canada in collaboration with the Provincial and Territorial Governments.  It is designed to encourage Canadians to improve their health by adopting healthier lifestyles, including participating in physical and sport activities, making healthier food choices and living tobacco-free.

Each year, SummerActive is one of Canada’s favourite ways to celebrate a healthy lifestyle and summertime fun.  Running from May 8th to June 20th this year, SummerActive reminds us that the summer is an ideal time to do more healthy activities we already enjoy or try new ones. SummerActive is open to Canadians of all ages and fitness levels in every province and territory. 

The official SummerActive website at www.summeractive.ca allows Canadians see what is happening in their province or territory.  They can search for SummerActive events in their communities and download tips, tools and resources on how to participate in physical and sport activities, make healthier food choices and live smoke-free. The SummerActive website also provides tools and resources for community leaders and individual Canadians to register and promote their SummerActive events.  All event organisers and individuals who register their participation in SummerActive events are eligible to win one of over 130 prizes!
