Active Living
The Active Living working group focuses on sustainable changes that can impact people’s ability to be active in the community. Active Living will strive to implement strategies that encourages the use of existing active living resources, creates awareness of new opportunities, and serves as an opportunity for collaborative efforts and information sharing around physical activity and built environment.
