Saturday, June 4 is National Health and Fitness Day!

Hey Canada,

Our dream is for Canada to be the fittest nation on Earth, and we need your help. Saturday, June 4 is National Health and Fitness Day this year, and we’re inviting all Canadians from coast to coast to get up, get out and get active throughout the week of May 30 to June 5.

Take a friend for a stroll around the block. Wheel to the park for a bit of fresh air. Take a break with your family to dance, skip or play. Share your activities with other Canadians using the hashtag #LetsMoveCanada. Why? Because exercise is good for our physical and mental wellbeing and contributes to lifelong health and well-ness. And it’s just plain fun!

Join in and you’ll be part of a massive movement around movement. Find out how non-profits, municipalities, ambassadors and other organizations can get involved and connect with millions of Canadians via our network and social media channels—and #LetsMoveCanada together!
