Healthy Kids All Kids
The Healthy Kids All Kids initiative will support a welcoming environment for all children to participate in local activities. It will provide training and tools to local sport, art, culture and recreation organizations to support them in welcoming and including children from a range of backgrounds and experience. Community events held throughout the next two years will highlight opportunities for all children to participate in programs and demonstrate less traditional activities.
