Prince Edward Island

A number of organizations work in partnership to promote healthy living on Prince Edward Island.  This includes community recreation departments, provincial physical activity and healthy eating alliances, members of the healthy living steering committee, the sport & recreation division of the Department of Communities, Cultural Affairs, and Labour as well as many others.  Collectively, the group offers many opportunities for Islanders to learn about healthy living, to participate in programs and hear about others who have made changes to their lifestyle.

As a province, we use the SummerActive initiative as a promotional tool to encourage Islanders to live healthier and take steps towards improving quality of life.  The 2008 SummerActive campaign will continue this trend as we focus on promoting active transportation in our province and encouraging Islanders to find ways to use human power as opposed to vehicle power in traveling short distances. 


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