SummerActive is Canada's annual, six-week community mobilization initiative designed to help Canadians of all ages improve their health and quality of life through healthy living.  The goal is to spread the message that active living, healthy eating, living smoke-free and participation in sports are all key parts of a healthy lifestyle.

Lethbridge College's Be Fit For Life Centre will launch this year's Alberta SummerActive campaign with "SummerActive Through the Ages".  Stay tuned for more details!
