Physical and health education is more than just gym class
24 per cent of Canadian adults are now obese and the rate of childhood obesity nearly tripled in 20 years.
The findings that we released on Friday attest to the need Canadians see for better resourcing of physical and health education in our primary, secondary and post-secondary education systems. Canadian parents are telling educators to make a concerted effort to find ways of creating a learning environment that reduces sedentary behaviours and inculcates a lifelong commitment to active, healthy living.
