YMCA Healthy Kids Day 2012

YMCA Healthy Kids Day Location: all YMCA locations in Calgary When: Sunday, June 03, 2012 at 10:00 - 1:00 PM Contact: Carollyne Cheng Contact Number: 403-781-1653 Email: ccheng@calgary.ymca.ca WebSite: www.ymcacalgary.org/ Calgary AB – On June 3, 2012, YMCA Calgary will join YMCAs across Canada in hosting YMCA Healthy Kids Day. Designed to help kids and families embrace healthy habits that can become a lifelong practice, YMCA Calgary believes that children and youth should also take an active part in their own well-being. This free community event will focus on engaging activities, practical information and simple ways to be healthier in body, mind and spirit. Across Canada, many children do not meet recommended levels of daily physical activity. Rising rates of obesity, related diseases and health care costs tell us that getting kids active should be a top priority for parents, schools and all Canadians. Although YMCA incorporates healthy practices into its programs and activities for children and youth year round, YMCA Healthy Kids Day places special emphasis on exploring healthy living habits that can be fun and easy for families to do together..
