Healthy Places
Albertans spend their lives in communities, schools and workplaces. Wouldn’t it be great if the places where we live, learn, work, and play made it easy for everyone to make the healthy choice? Examples of healthy places include: communities that build safe, accessible trails and pathways; schools that offer their students healthy snacks in vending machines and cafeterias; schools and offices that allow time for activity breaks during the day. This section gives you information about healthy places and programs in Alberta and ways you can get involved and make healthy choices. Find out how our communities, schools, and workplaces can become places where the healthy choice is the easier choice.
