Why

An increasing fear of lawsuits and efforts to reduce insurance costs has policy makers across Canada making decisions with a devastating impact on opportunities for kids to be active.

Closing toboggan hills, removing play equipment and most recently banning cartwheels sends the wrong message to our kids. We want to know what you think!
