Turning off your screens doesn't
have to be a week-long challenge
only. Watching less TV, spending
less time on the internet, and playing
video games less often, can become
a part of your family's lifestyle.
"As many of the families that
participated in the challenge
experienced, when you turn off the
screen, you find extra hours in your
day that can be spent on a wide
range of activities", said Kim Ross,
public health promoter, Huron
County Health Unit.
"Families can spend more time
doing activities that are good for
their health, such as spending time
with each other, reacling, and being
physically active. Any activity that
gets you and your family turning off
the screens and getting more active
will help nurture healthy hearts and
minds.

Health Unit in conjunction with Take Heart Huron, as well as
the Grey Bruce Health Unit and the Perth District Health

their families to turn off the TV, computers, internet and
video games (with the exception of homework) and spend
time with each other through various activities both indoors
and out. Parents were asked to fill out a log book each day
their child didn't watch TV. Junior kindergarten student
Stefania Masowa from Blyth Public School, was the district
grand prize winner, receiving a $250 gift certificate for
