What is "in motion"?
in motion is a successful health promotion strategy, resulting in a sustained increase in physical activity rates in Saskatoon. In 2006, communities across Wellington County, Dufferin County and the City of Guelph came together to address the alarming rates of physical inactivity in our region. A partnership was formed, called Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) in motion. WDG in motion is a regional collaborative that has operated for 3 years and launched publicly on October 3, 2007, in conjunction with the World Record Walk.
Our Vision: Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph will be a physically active, healthy community.
Mission Statement:
WDG in motion is leading the way to a physically active, healthy WDG by:
-
Building partnerships
-
Raising awareness
-
Implementing targeted strategies
-
Measuring success.
-
WDG in motion strives to “create a culture of physical activity” in Wellington County, Dufferin County and the City of Guelph.
