Welcome to the Active Campbell River website and thanks for your interest in being active and healthy in Campbell River. This site has been developed in order to communicate more information about being Active in Campbell River. It includes information about events, facilities, programs, resources for health and wellness, places to be active and much more.
Active Campbell River is one of over 160 ‘Active Communities’ in British Columbia in which Campbell River joined the initiative in February of 2006. The Active Communities Initiative is part of a much larger wellness initiative, called ActNowBC, which is aimed at promoting healthy lifestyle choices and environments.
The Active Communities goal is to increase the level of activity of Campbell River residents by 20% by the year 2010.
The focus upon Active Living is a direct response to supporting health and wellness. The benefits of physical activity are endless; in particular regular physical activity reduces risks for various disease and stress and increases psychological well being. Lack of physical activity strains our health care system and is related to early death and illness and dependent living circumstances. We encourage you to join the Active Living Initiatives and get more active!
