Good Morning #Canada
If you are a vintage Canadian, you will remember a 1973 commercial comparing the health of a 30-year-old Canadian to a 60-year-old Swede or taking a #BodyBreak with Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod. The nonprofit organization #ParticipACTION has either motivated you to start an exercise program or caused you to feel guilty about being a couch potato. From 1971 to 2001, ParticipACTION operated independently, with government support, and focused on improving the health of Canadians through physical activity. It disappeared for a few years but was relaunched in 2007 as a nonprofit with guaranteed support from the federal government (funding and administrative).
Every year, they release the ParticipACTION Report Card, and for 2025, the data shows a failing grade in most categories. I acknowledge my contribution, or lack thereof. Despite the well documented positive impact of exercise, we are falling short.

Good Morning #Canada
It's #NationalSportsDay in India, so why not take a look at sport participation here in Canada. Some 67%, or over 4 million Canadians aged 3 to 17, are playing a sport at least twice a week. Soccer, swimming, and hockey round out the top 3 most popular, and I was surprised that rugby and lacrosse don't make the top 15. Interest amongst immigrants and cost is impacting participation in hockey.

Je viens de voir une publicité de #participaction, j’avais déjà vu des publicités d’eux-autres il y a plus de trente ans, je ne savais même pas que ça existait encore.
