What your organization can do

Your organization can work towards making "being safe and active" the norm for members who come to your centre. You can promote safe, active living by:

  • Providing information and learning opportunities about active living
  • Offering programs and activities that promote active living
  • Motivating and supporting your members in their efforts to become more active
  • Removing barriers for your members as they attempt to become more active
  • Making adaptations in and around your building to support positive changes
  • Sharing information about other resources in your community for active living
