Keep It Moving Day on October 13
Keep it Moving Day is back once again, now in its third year. The annual
event had over 1400 participants last year.
The day is a community wide, day long event to get as many people as
possible physically active.
It will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 13 and the ultimate goal is to
have people from all parts of the Town and Municipality of Shelburne participating
in physical activities throughout the day.
Everyone is encouraged to take part – individuals, families, volunteer
groups, schools, organizations, businesses, etc. All you have to do is
be physically active for 30 minutes.
People can participate in several ways. Plan an activity on your own like going for a bike ride or walking with a friend, attend an organized function like a fitness class or sports program or take the initiative and organize an activity in your community or workplace. The activity, location, time are all up to you. Participants don’t have to do the 30 minutes all at once. People can break it up into three ten minute intervals throughout the day.
People are required to register which can be done by fax, phone or email. Registration forms are available in brochures (currently in stores) and from these websites: www.auracom.com/tnshelb and www.municipalityofshelburne.ca
Prizes include gift certificates that can go towards sneakers and fitness/wellness classes and a Keep it Moving Day Gear Kit. As well, there is an Early Bird Registration Incentive in which participants registered by Oct. 9 will be entered into draws for free tshirts.
For more information contact Marilyn Johnston, Director of Recreation & Parks for the Municipality of the District of Shelburne by phone: 875-3544 ext 225 or email: mjohnston@municipalityofshewlburne.ca or fax 875-1278.

In late May 2006, the Town of Shelburne and the Municipality of Shelburne were given the opportunity to expand their jointly funded Community Use Program at Shelburne Regional High School to include a new component – the development of a Physical Activity Strategy for the Town and Municipality.
The Community Use Coordinator’s position was expanded and the responsibility of coordinating the development of the Strategy was added to his existing responsibilities for SRHS Community Use administration and the Youth Leadership – On The Move program at the school.
This project was made possible with funding from the Department of Health Promotion and Protection.
A Steering Committee was established to provide input into the development of the Physical Activity Strategy process. A public consultation process was developed to gather information to be used in developing the Strategy.
A series of public meetings were held – one in Town and seven throughout the Municipality. The meetings provided participants with information on the benefits of physical activity, and the purpose of developing a Physical Activity Strategy for the area.
Information was gathered on existing physical activity opportunities and possible additional activities Issues that might need to be addressed to assist development at the local community and more centralized levels were identified, possible solutions were discussed as part of the information gathering.
With the help of a “Working Group” of volunteers recruited from the meetings, the information was collated and summarized. Goals and a work plan for proceeding with the Physical Activity Strategy were drafted.
This information was presented at the Physical Activity
Strategy Launch on April 14, 2007. The Launch provided an opportunity to
share the information with the public, and gather feedback to confirm that
the proposed vision fits the communities, at all levels.
Guiding Principles
In the initial stages of planning for the development of the Strategy, the following principles were developed and used to guide the work or the various groups involved:
1. The Strategy includes structured and unstructured opportunities
2. The Strategy includes quality leadership.
3. Fairness and safety are an integral part of all programs and activities.
4. The Strategy will ensure opportunities for all abilities, ages and
cultures
5. The Strategy will be based on citizen needs and community leadership.
6. The Strategy represents a collaborative effort among community agencies,
government and non-government partners.
7. The Strategy will do what works based on research evidence and community
experience.
8. The Strategy will use multi-level strategies – social marketing,
policy development, physical and social environments, program and practices
– tied to local opportunities
9. The Strategy will address specific target groups (according
to their needs)
