2. Naturally Active Victoria County (Physical Activity Strategy)
Goal 3: Programs and Activities Strengthen and assist community based programs and services to expand physical activity and healthy eating Objective 3.5: Moving Forward Together Healthy by dialoguing with our Wagmatcook First Nation community to pursue opportunities to expand involvement in physical activity and healthy eating.

3. Target Group
Wagmatcook First Nation residents with Type 2 diabetes who have a rate three to five times higher than that of other Canadians
Rates of diabetes are expected to rise significantly in the future given that risk factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and unhealthy eating patterns are high

4. Partnered in 3 Initiatives Together
During Circle Time with RCMP Staff Supervisor Craig Yorke a participant commented “that is why I go to school to attend things like this” - best quote of the program.
Active Girls Only
