Active Living After-school Environment Scan
*New deadline to supply your input is December 21, 2009*
Physical & Health Education Canada is undertaking a scan of current after-school programs at the community level that contain a healthy living (physical activity/nutrition) component along with after-school initiatives that may not presently, but could potentially, incorporate a healthy living component in their programming.
If your organization is running an after-school program that fits this description, it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a moment to fill out the scan by clicking on the link below. This information will be very useful for the planning of resources. Federal/Provincial and Territorial governments will also be looking at the results of this scan to inform potential planning around physical activity promotion in the after-school time period.
Please also forward this on to any other organizations you know of who are running after-school programs that fit the above description.
Many thanks for taking the time to share your story!

Presented at the 2009 Alberta Recreation and Parks Association Annual Conference and Energize Workshop.
