The Active Living Strategy |
The logo and brand you see for Active Easy is a result of the Active Living Strategy, a comprehensive 5-year plan that ran from 2017-2021. The goal of the plan was to identify barriers to physical activity, both on a broad/national level and locally. Our team of consultants took a deep dive into the available data, reached out to the public, and made a series of observations and recommendations on how to integrate physical activity with as few barriers as possible. The development of the strategy responds to the fact that Canadians generally do not meet the national daily physical activity guidelines and are not maximizing the resultant health benefits. The Strategy outlines 46 Recommended Actions over a five-year timeframe to improve the activity-friendliness in the Town of Halton Hills. Download the full Active Living Strategy. Key objectives
