Federal, Provincial and Territorial (FPT) Physical Activity and Recreation Committee – As co-chairs of the Federal, Provincial and Territorial (FPT) Physical Activity and Recreation Committee (PARC), we are writing to let you know about opportunities to help advance A Common Vision for Increasing Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Living in Canada: Let’s Get Moving. FPT governments have already put in place a range of policy and program activities to support Let’s Get Moving. We know that working across sectors can result in greater impact and progress, so we are seeking expressions of interest from individuals or organizations interested in serving as a Champion for each of the Let’s Get Moving areas of focus: cultural norms, spaces and places, public engagement, partnerships, leadership and learning, and progress. Let’s Get Moving is for all Canadians, so we encourage applications from diverse communities across Canada, including Visible Minority, First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Gender, Youth, Francophone, and others. Please see details online. We hope that you will consider this opportunity to help Canadians move more and sit less, and share with your networks.
