National Health and Fitness Day looks to take a bite out of childhood obesity
The Heart and Stroke Foundation is campaigning to promote healthy living by hosting National Health and Fitness Day on Saturday, June 4 and staff at the CUplex in North Battleford plan to take part as well.
“We’ll be doing a lot of free activities to keep people active and physical,” Program Coordinator Candace Dustan said.
Some of the featured activities include “aquasize” from 9 to 10 a.m., roller skating and ice skating all day, track time from 10 a.m. until noon and turf time from 12 to 3 p.m.
“People think that heart and stroke can only affect older people but it can affect younger people as well. It’s important to start young,” Dustan said.
