Move For Health Day 2010

Move for Health Day is an international event created in 2002 by the World Health Organization to promote physical activity. BC Recreation and Parks Association (BCRPA) leads our province in promoting this global event and the benefits of healthy active living, providing participants with tools and resources. Move for Health Day events bring people together in a spirit of fun, inclusivity, and support of healthy active living. Your workplace and/or community could host a walk, create a physical activity challenge or any other activity that engages people in the celebration of being active.

Move For Health Day 2009

British Columbians have set a new record for participation in Move for Health Day in this province. An incredible 78,391 people got out, got active and had fun at 250 events in communities across BC. This is a substantial increase over last year’s turnout of 68,000, and we blew past our goal of 70,000 people and 200 events! BCRPA Chief Executive Officer Suzanne Allard Strutt says the turnout shows how important active lifestyles are to BC’s culture. “A lot of people understand that in addition to being fun, physical activity plays a major role in helping you stay healthy and socially engaged. It’s really a fundamental key to having a high quality of life.” The provincial launch for 2009 Move for Health Day was at the Surrey Inukshuk Relay on Friday, May 8th. Roughly 800 students from W.E. Kinvig Elementary and Henry Bose Elementary ran an obstacle course, danced, learned about nutrition and participated in other activities at the event in Unwin Park.
