New Brunswick

Minister’s Message

As Minister of Wellness, Culture and Sport, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to New Brunswick’s SummerActive home page.


The Honourable
Albert Hédard
SummerActive promotes the importance and enjoyment of physical activity, provides information on how you can become more physically active in your community, and shows how you can be a leader for physical activity initiatives and sport participation opportunities within your community over the summer months. SummerActive also encourages healthy eating and tobacco-free living as positive choices towards improving your well-being and quality of life.

Being physically active is an important component of a healthy lifestyle that directly contributes to the overall wellness of our province.  There is a sense of pride and confidence in self that exists when New Brunswickers lead healthy lifestyles. Embracing these changes empowers our citizens, and has a positive impact on the self-sufficiency of our province.

I would encourage you to get outside, enjoy our beautiful New Brunswick summer, and benefit from the many physical activities that you can enjoy in our province.

If you are organizing an event, participating in one, or just being physically active in your community, don’t forget to register on the SummerActive website.  Just scroll down the page and sign up your activity.



Come on New Brunswick, let’s get active together!

SummerActive is brought to you by the Government of Canada in collaboration with provincial and territorial governments.
