On June 6th the YMCA of Greater Toronto is hosting
its first annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day together with YMCAs across Canada. Designed to help kids and families embrace healthy
habits that can become a lifelong practice, this free community event will focus on fun and engaging activities, practical
information and simple ways to be healthier in spirit, mind and body.
Between 2003 and 2006, the rate of obesity for children and youth in Canada increased 35.7%. "Our children's
health is very important to us. Our aim is to show families, children and youth that making healthy choices can be fun, easy,
and achieved by anyone. And we hope the children and families who attend this event will share what they learn with their
friends and other family members.
Although the YMCA
models and incorporates healthy practices into its programs and activities for children and youth year round, YMCA Healthy
Kids Day places special emphasis on teaching children and youth and their families about exploring healthy living habits that
will make a difference throughout their life.
