Experts on physical activity for Canadian children and youth.
Active Healthy Kids Canada (formerly, The Foundation for Active Healthy Kids) was established as a national charitable organization in 1994. Since its inception, Active Healthy Kids Canada has become a passionate voice for the development of active healthy children and youth in Canada. Active Healthy Kids Canada believes that children, regardless of their gender, cultural heritage or the economic status of their families or communities, should have access to quality physical activity opportunities. To that end, Active Healthy Kids Canada focuses its attention and resources on:
- Making physical activity a significant priority in the everyday lives of Canadian families;
- Providing expertise and direction to policymakers and the public on increasing and effectively allocating resources and attention toward physical activity for children and youth;
- Establishing and maintaining effective governance and management systems that support the development, implementation and evaluation of the organization's activities.
Active Healthy Kids Canada will work in partnership with others to ensure a future where all children and youth will value, participate in, and have the skills necessary to make a lifelong commitment to active, healthy living.
