The provincial government has unveiled an enhanced four-year wellness strategy addressing 29 of the 49 recommendations in a final report by the Select Committee on Wellness. Live well, be well, New Brunswick's Wellness Strategy 2009-2013, builds on the previous strategy of improving mental fitness and resilience, increasing physical activity, healthy eating, and living tobacco-free.
An Inter-departmental Deputy Ministers' Committee on Wellness will also be established. Statistics show 34 per cent of children and youth in this province are over weight or obese, well above the Canadian average of 26 per cent.
