About National Health and Fitness Day
After many years of working jointly with local community groups and national health promotion organizations, to review ways to improve physical fitness in Canada, Nancy Greene Raine finally brought by-law S-211 to fruition, and the National Health and Physical Activity Day Act was officially adopted in December 2014. The adoption of this legislation will strongly encourage communities to come together annually on the first Saturday in June to emphasize the importance of Health and fitness.
To date, hundreds of municipalities across the country have proclaimed this day and are planning to celebrate it with activities, promoting the use of local sport and recreation facilities, and simply encouraging people To Get up, get out and move!
