County seeks volunteers to
advise about physical fitness
The Huron County Health Unit is
gearing up for a brand new physical
activity program and is looking for
volunteers to help make it a success.
The Physical Activity Advisor
Program trains volunteers to work
on community presentations,
energizers and attend fairs and
festivals. Their message will be
letting people know how they can
get more active for their health.
Alycia Collins, the Physical
Activity Advisor Co-ordinator),
says she’s excited to work with
volunteers to build the program.
“We’re looking for outgoing,
energetic volunteers of all ages who
love working with people and enjoy
being active,” she says. “You don’t
have to have any qualifications other
than a willingness to learn and a few
hours of your time each month.”
In order to become a certified
Physical Activity Advisor,
volunteers must complete a 20-hour
training course by attending weekly
two-and-a-half-hour evening classes
at the Huron County Health Unit in
Clinton from September through to
November. Once the in-class
training is complete, volunteers will
do two community placements with
the Co-ordinator before coming a
fully-certified Physical Activity
Advisor.
Anyone who would like to learn
more about this volunteer
opportunity or wants more
information can contact the Huron
County Health Unit at 519-482-
3416 or toll-free at 1-877-837-6143.
