Attempt to Halt Obesity Rates

The Department of Culture, Wellness and Sport is hosting an open house at Market Square today. This is to mark the final event of phase two of their social marketing campaign to get people more active. Staggering figures show that only 54% of children and youth in the province are not physically active enough to achieve health benefits. Spokes-person Michelle Bourgoin tells CHSJ News, this is not a counselling or testing day.

Bourgoin says they are making strides in their wellness movement by getting people to be proud to try new things. Things gets started at 10:30am and run til 4:30pm.
