YMCA Healthy Kids Day

Event Schedule

Sunday June 2, 2013, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Join us for healthy, fun and FREE activities for the whole family!

Physical Activity Levels Only 7% of 5- to 11-year-olds in Canada, and 4% of 12- to 17-year-olds, meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Children and Youth, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.

Rising rates of obesity and related chronic disease tell us that getting kids active should be a top priority.

YMCA Healthy Kids Day is one way YMCAs across Canada demonstrate our ongoing commitment to changing this trend. By giving kids a little encouragement and awareness, they can embrace a more active and healthy lifestyle.

Sources: 2012 & 2013 Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Cards on Physical Activity on Children and Youth.

YMCA Healthy Kids Day is just the beginning.

The YMCA also supports Healthy Me Week, June 2-8.

Healthy Me Week is an annual, week-long awareness campaign in June led by a group of concerned media and not-for-profit community partners wishing to address, promote and sustain healthy, active living among Canadian families.

Why kids need active play Play has also been shown to foster and improve: • Motor function • Creativity • Decision-making • Problem-solving •A bility to self-regulate emotions and behaviours • S ocial skills like sharing, taking turns, helping others, resolving conflict • Language development

46% of kids aged 6-11 years get 3 hours or less of active play (unstructured physical activity) per week, including weekends.

Canadian kids spend 63% of their free time, after school and on weekends, being sedentary.
