The program will augment existing Physical Education, Health and extracurricular activities by mandating that B.C.’s K-12 students participate daily in healthy levels of activity. The program is part of Government’s commitment to increase the health and wellness, and therefore, the life chances of young British Columbians. Daily Physical Activity works alongside other Government initiatives, such as the Healthy Schools Network, Action Schools! BC, the School Fruit and Vegetable Snack program and revisions to guidelines for the sale of food and beverages within schools, all of which are tackling B.C.’s obesity and healthy living challenges. |
