National Health and Fitness Day (Canada)
June 5, 2023

From the National Health and Fitness Day website:
The National Health and Fitness Day Act, Bill S-211, became law in December 2014.
Canada is facing an inactivity crisis. Daily physical activity is on the decline and preventable illness is on the rise. It’s time to get up, get out, and get active! National Health and Fitness Day (NHFD) is an initiative to challenge Canada to become the Fittest Nation on Earth, starting with making one day, the first Saturday in June, the day when Canadians get out and get active in any way they wish.
You may think that physical activity is a trend or a fad. However, we have the evidence to convince you that physical activity is an important contributor to living a stronger, happier, more vibrant life.
