Be Active Every Day 2018 - October 1 - 26, 2018
Time to 'Choose Your Own Activity Adventure'!
Be Active Every Day is an annual Doctors of BC initiative to help kids be more active and make healthy choices. In partnership with their local elementary school, doctors across BC coordinate a month-long challenge to kids.
The Challenge begins the week of Monday October 1st with a school visit and ends with follow up visit the final week of October. Last year more than 5,800 students in 66 schools were challenged by 48 doctors and resident doctors with the help of nurse practitioners, divisions, and athletes across the province!
With doctors leading students through the activity challenge, kids can learn about the importance of good health, nutrition, and fitness from a medical perspective. The goal is to make a lasting impact on children and help them turn healthy choices into healthy habits.
