Mandated Physical Activity
Non-mandated Physical Activity
Sport
Monitoring and Surveillance

Theinformation was collected primarily from a Web-based search, existing relevant sourcesof data (e.g. other environmental scans that have been done by different jurisdictions) andthrough a review process involving provincial, territorial and federal governmentrepresentatives for education, health/health promotion and sport. A special thank you to those who have contributed to this scan.
