It is replacing the very popular "Canada's Fitweek" as a campaign promoting the bene- fits of regular physical activity'. The goal of the program is to en- courage people, especially those who are inactive, regardless of age, ability or gender to choose an ac- tive, healthy lifestyle. We all realize how important it is to get active, however for one reason or another the majority of Huron County residents do not make regular physical activity part of their daily lives. The Physical Activity Community Action Group for Huron County would like to change ,this fact. As part of the kick off to "Summer Active '95" between May 15 - 31, events and activities promoting active living will be offered in six host commu- nities throughout the County - Ex- eter, Clinton, Seaforth, Vanastra, Wingham and Goderich. So, it addition to the already popular physical activities offered through, the individual Recreation Centres, special events will be planned, and representatives from numerous Ontario Sporting Associ- ations will be offering activities, events and clinics around the County. This would allow all members of the public an opportu- nity to observe and experience a variety of physical activities either free of charge or for a small fee. just for the fun of it! We have also approached a number of groups in these towns, ie. schools, health care facilities, community services, seniors etc. to show. some community spirit and join in the fun by organizing activi- ties and events for their members. With all these activities and events going on, the County will be buzz- ing with activity between May 15 - 31. If you have any questions or would like more information about "SummerActive '95", call .your lo- cal Recreation Director or Sandy ldelsward at the Huron County Health unit in Clinton (519) 482- 3416 or 1-800-265-5184.
