Frequently asked questions
What does it mean to make an online pledge?
It’s a simple promise to do one thing — big or small — that helps make physical activity the easy choice for kids in your life, whether that’s cutting screen time, organizing a walk, or supporting a school policy.
How can my school or community become an “in motion” school or community?
You can formally declare your school or community in motion, joining hundreds of others across the province working toward the same goal of getting kids moving more.
What’s in the community awareness toolkit?
It gives you ready-to-use materials — logos and graphics, key messages, media relations tools and presentations — to help you raise awareness about physical activity where you live.
Who should I contact about the physical activity policy guidelines?
Reach out to your school or school board administrator to learn how the policy guidelines for physical activity in Saskatchewan schools are being put into practice, or send a note of thanks to your MLA for supporting them.
Where can I find more facts and stats on youth physical activity?
