How will the Guide help Canadians?
A1. Canada’s Physical Activity Guide to Health Active Living provides Canadians with clear and concise guidelines on how to achieve better health by making physical activity an important part of daily living. The Guide reinforces the importance of active living — a way of life in which physical activity is valued and integrated into daily living — and clarifies the benefits of being active (as well as the risks of being inactive). By making important information readily available, the Guide will help inactive Canadians understand the need for physical activity, and make informed decisions about taking their first steps.
