New ParticipACTION Resource From Research to Action
 
Each year, the Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card examines physical activity opportunities for kids all across Canada. The role of the Report Card is to consolidate research knowledge to drive social action for policy change, by informing messaging, policies, programs and research initiatives that can increase physical activity opportunities for children and youth.

ParticipACTION has developed a resource guide to accompany the findings of the 2009 Report Card. It is intended to help you everyone from NGOs to public health to sport organizations and municipal recreation departments take action on the Report Card findings. ParticipACTION collaborated with national and provincial/territorial partners to unearth practical ways to turn research into action.
