County of Brant Partnerships:
Healthy Kids Community Challenge
Our community is one of 45 across Ontario proudly taking part in the Healthy Kids Community Challenge to promote children's health through physical activity and healthy eating. Research shows that being active every day is essential for growing children. Good things happen when our kids move more. Stronger muscles and bones. Greater focus and attention. Self-confidence. Better coordination. Active kids are happier, they sleep better, and they do better in school. Children are active by nature which is why the theme of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge is "Run. Jump. Play. Every day." The goal of the passports is to encourage that natural urge to be active.
