Run. Jump. Play. Every Day
Physical Activity Challenge
HKCC Rexdale implemented 50 Physical Activity Challenges to
promote interactive physical activity at community events and
children's programs across Rexdale. Over 40 000 children and
families were reached through this initiative. We collaborated with
community stakeholders including schools, religious institutions,
and community centers to deliver this initiative.
Physical Literacy Training:
HKCC Rexdale implemented free High Five ® Principles of Healthy
Child Development training to 200 frontline workers, supervisors
and volunteers who work with children in Rexdale. HKCC Rexdale
also recruited 10 individuals from the community and trained them
to become High Five ® Trainers.
Every Child Plays:
HKCC Rexdale supported children's physical activity programs
within the Rexdale area with resources and funding to assist with
the development of new programs and to expand existing
programs to reach more children. HKCC Rexdale supported 23
Physical Activity Programs and reached over 2000 children.
Early Play:
In partnership with Parks and Recreation Ontario, High Five Canada
and community organizations, HKCC Rexdale has delivered physical
literacy training to 25 frontline workers and volunteers who work
with children 4- 5 years.
Every Day Outside:
HKCC Rexdale enhanced outdoor community spaces. These
enhanced outdoor spaces allowed families to increase physical
activity levels, cost-free while exploring their neighbourhood
resources.
