August 11, 2008Funding Helps
Communities Develop Recreational Programs
The Honourable Clyde Jackman, Minister of Tourism,
Culture and Recreation, today announced that 228 communities across
Newfoundland and Labrador will receive a total of $381,880 to support
recreation, sport and active living programs in their communities.
The annual Community Recreation Development Grants
program supports general community programming such as recreational
sports, summer programs for youth, and physical/active living
initiatives for the entire community.
"This program falls perfectly in line with the goals
and objectives of the province�s recreation and sport strategy," said
Minister Jackman. "The funding will help town councils and recreation
committees create and maintain recreation, sport and leisure activities
aimed at increasing participation in physical activity among
Newfoundlanders and Labradorians."
Statistics indicate that this province has some of the
highest physical inactivity rates in the country, as well as the highest
obesity rates, which translate into a long list of lifestyle-related
diseases and disabilities.
"Community-based recreation programs encourage
physical activity and healthy living among all ages," said Minister
Jackman. "As a government, we are committed to providing new
opportunities for our residents to become increasingly active and
benefit more fully from the social interaction, personal, and economic
well-being that comes with an active, healthy, engaged lifestyle."
Through its $2.4 million recreation and sport
strategy, Active, Healthy, Newfoundland and Labrador (2007), the
Provincial Government continues to work with its partners to strengthen
programs and services aimed at creating a healthy, vibrant population.
