Blog Highlight: Mayoral candidates weigh in on HRM's physical activity strategy

Posted by Healthy Dal on October 16, 2012 in Blog Highlights

From the Healthy Dal blog:

HRM’s mayoral candidates were asked their thoughts on what they and Council can do to promote physical activity, as part of “Stepping Up,” HRM’s physical activity strategy.

Questions:

1. As mayor, what actions will you take to ensure communities are safe, accessible and inviting for residents to walk or wheel for recreation and transportation?

2. What can council do to support use of existing recreational and Active Transportation infrastructure to inspire more physical activity in HRM?

3. Youth Physical Activity levels are declining.  What is the municipality’s role in addressing this issue and making physical activity more accessible to all populations?

4. Beyond the above questions, what actions will you take as mayor to inspire and make physical activity the easy choice for our residents at home, school, work, and play?
