Home My WebLink AboutHuron Expositor, 2004-11-10, Page 15News Campaign challenges people to be physically active during the winter Take Heart Huron and the Huron County Health Unit have joined efforts with the Maitland Trail Association, Friends of Hullett, and the Maitland Valley and Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authorities to encourage you to enjoy Huron County trails all year round, while adding some fun to your winter physical activities. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) hosted a hike to launch the "Be Winter - Active and Win" campaign on Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area. Take Heart Huron and the MVCA provided some surprise `gifts' and snacks for those who joined in the fun of the kick-off hike. The "Be Winter -Active and Win" rules are quite simple; after one hour (or more) of physical activity on a trail, whether by foot, snowshoes, or skis, complete one ballot to enter a draw for prizes. There is no limit to how many times you can enter, so long as each ballot records at least one hour's worth of outdoor activity on a local trail. The ballots are available at the offices of participating organizations, your local library, and at Huron, County Tourism offices. Prizes have been donated by Take Heart Huron, The Maitland Trail Association, Friends of Hullett, and the Ausable-Bayfield and Maitland Valley Conservation Authorities. There will be a 'Snowbird Draw' halfway through the campaign on Jan. 2, and a final draw on April 5. Exploring trails in the winter time is a great way to get active. Regular physical activity reduces your risk of disease, strengthens muscles and bones, Correspondents improves posture, increases energy, and helps you maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity during the winter season is a great way to beat the winter blues. For more information about the Be Winter -Active and Win contest or the kick-off hike, contact Take Heart Huron by calling the Huron County Health Unit at 482- 3416, or if calling long distance dial 1-877-837- 6143. , Check out [ http://www.huroncounty.ca/ h e a 1 t h u n i t ]www.huroncounty.ca/healt hunit for contest details.
