Communities receive grants to
promote healthy living
Julie Bettney, Minister of Tourism,
Recreation and Culture, today announced 219 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, I am
pleased that we have seen an increase in the number of recreation/active
living programs being delivered at the community level," said Minister
Bettney. "Again 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. In 2002, the Department of Tourism, Culture and
Recreation partnered 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
assists organizations in outlining ways and providing opportunities for
inactive Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to become more active. It also
helps create social and physical environments that support and encourage
daily physical activity for the whole population.
"Putting physical activity back into the
daily lives of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians will take a shift in focus
for everyone," said Minister Bettney. "We need to become more
physically active not only at the community recreation level but also at
home, work, school and play. 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."
