Check out our Abbotsford partner organization Healthy Abbotsford‘s website for a great round-up of the Healthy Families event there that occurred Saturday, September 17, 2011. Minister of Health Mike de Jong, along with the Mayor Peary, Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray and local MLA John Van Dongen.

Health Minister Mike de Jong made an announcement about the province’s support for community efforts for health promotion under the new Healthy Families BC program. We look forward to hearing more about it soon! You can read the announcement here.

SCOPE had a booth at the Healthy Abbotsford event that received lots of interest – families like the Live 5-2-1-0 guideline and our 5-2-1-0 fact sheets were going quickly!

BC Bike to Work Week

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Next week is BC’s Bike to Work Week!  Both of SCOPE’s pilot communities, Prince George and Abbotsford, are participating along with other cities and communities across the province.

Biking to work (and school!) is a great way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine. Biking burns calories not gas, which means biking is both cheaper and healthier than commuting by car.  SCOPE’s community coordinators will be out and about next week, manning our SCOPE booths.

It’s not to late to get involved!  If you’re interested in participating in the Fraser Valley, Prince George, or elsewhere in the province, visit the Bike to Work website to learn more or to register.
