Physical Activity for Health Collaborative
The Physical Activity for Health Collaborative (the Collaborative) brings together leaders from the academic, health, sport, and recreation sectors to improve physical activity outcomes in BC.
About the Collaborative
The BC Alliance for Healthy Living convenes the Physical Activity for Health Collaborative (the Collaborative), which brings together provincial leaders from the academic, health, sport, and recreation sectors to advance evidence-informed initiatives to improve health in B.C.
The Collaborative came together to address the urgent need to get British Columbians physically active, especially those who face barriers to being active. Members work together on shared priorities such as children’s screen time, senior wellness, or the challenge of outdoor activity during wildfires and heat events. The Collaborative also amplifies public education messages about the benefits of physical activity, information about being active safely, and low-barrier resources British Columbians can access.
Currently, the Collaborative is responding to recommendations that came from consultations recently conducted with equity-owed families on overcoming barriers and creating meaningful opportunities for physical activity. The goal of this current work is to improve access to subsidies and free/low-cost physical activity programming for families across the province.
