According to results gathered from the  Canadian Health Measures Survey, "only 9% of boys and 4% of girls meet the new Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines" which state that "for health benefits, children and youth should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity daily." Working together, we will provide sport programming for both boys and girls. Thank you Wonder+ Cares!
