25. Thoughts on NS’s Recreation Plan »Don’t overstate your role in obesity epidemic »Physical Literacy / social marketing / public awareness »Focus on some obvious high need groups (CAS) »Community Spaces work – and they come with risk »Collaborating across sectors is a skill – not well understood »“Partnering” with school systems – real reciprocity »Inclusion of “all children” requires special skills / training »Be in the discussions early – input or criteria »Build your external support among (non vested) partners
