Okotoks selected to participate in Canada Gets Active program

The Town of Okotoks was one of five communities selected by the Canadian Parks and Recreation and Association to participate in the Canada Gets Active program, which will provide local Grade 5 students with a Community Physical Activity Pass allowing free access to designated recreation facilities.

The four other Canadian communities selected include Coquitlam, Durham Region, Arnrprior, and Annapolis.

Modeled after Kingston Gets Active, and in conjunction with the Everybody get to play™ initiative, the main objective of Canada Gets Active is to increase physical activity involvement of Canadian children by increasing their access to and participation in community recreation facilities.

Congratulations to the Town of Okotoks for taking initiative to improve access to recreation opportunities and helping local residents get more active!
