Healthy U Crews visit Alberta communities
July 12, 2013
Can you turn orange? Highly possible.
This summer, Alberta’s Healthy U Crew will travel to more than 30 communities across the province to share ideas with Albertans on how to be more healthy and active – and to solve vexing mysteries, like whether you really can turn orange.
The crews are visiting major events, schools, grocery stores and recreation centres until September.
The Alberta government’s is for kids between the ages of 6-12, and these community visits are a fun and easy way for kids and families to learn about healthy eating and active living. Through 42 epic experiments, the Healthy U 5&1 Experiment offers children and families creative, off-the-wall ways to learn about healthy foods and become more active.
“Thumbs up from me, definitely worth giving a try.” said Sheryl Stone of the popular parenting blog (Leduc) about the 5&1 Experiment. “We all know kids love enthusiasm and a new thing to look forward to everyday. Let this be it!”
This is the fifth year the Healthy U Crew has toured Alberta since 2003. Last year, the crews visited over 28 communities across Alberta, talking to almost 17,000 Albertans and sharing healthy living tips, information and prizes.
