Canada has just released its first ever singular policy focused on physical activity, A Common Vision for Increasing Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Living in Canada: Let’s Get Moving.

The resulting Common Vision was designed for all organizations, communities and leaders that have or could have a stake in addressing these issues.
