Hardisty's Active Living
The Project
The Rural Route to Active Aging project offers resources to promote physical activity and build capacity for physical activity opportunties for adults (55 to 75) in rural areas. Print and web-based resources are designed for practitioners, community leaders and older adults.
The project addresses the priorities in the Alberta Active Living Strategy and Alberta's Rural Development Strategy: A Place to Grow. The project's goal is to improve the health of rural Albertans through education, facilitate community action and promote lifelong physical activity.
