Communities receive grants to
promote healthy living
Julie Bettney, Minister of Tourism,
Recreation and Culture, today announced 210 communities across Newfoundland
and Labrador will receive a total of $180,000 to support recreation and
active living programs in their communities.
The annual Community Recreation Development
Grant supports general recreation programming such as recreational sports,
kids summer programs and physical active/active living programs for the
whole community.
"Over the past couple of years, we have
seen an increase in the number of recreation/active living programs being
delivered at the community level," said Minister Bettney. "This
year, we are providing grants to the largest number of communities
ever."
Research shows that two-thirds of the
population are still not active enough on a daily basis to maintain a
healthy lifestyle. The Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation has
taken the lead role in partnering with the Department of Health and
Community Services, the Department of Education and a provincial committee
to support Regaining Our Health, a provincial physical activity
strategy.
Regaining Our Health
will assist organizations to outline ways and provide opportunities for
inactive Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to become more active. It will
also help create social and physical environments that support and encourage
daily physical activity for the whole population.
"Recreation volunteers and staff play a
crucial role in providing programs and services to communities in order to
get people more physically active but they cannot do it alone," said
the minister. "The Department of Tourism, Culture and Recreation
supports and applauds the efforts of recreation committees in providing
healthy active recreation programs for communities all across the
province."
Putting physical activity back into the daily
lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians will take a shift in focus for
everyone. "We need to become more physically active not only at the
community recreation level but also at home, work, school and play,"
said Minister Bettney. "Physical activity can be enjoyable, inexpensive
and rewarding. Anything involving movement, even if it is not vigorous,
results in positive benefits to our health and well-being."
