The City of Port Coquitlam is joining in Sports Day, a nation-wide celebration of sport and
physical fitness, on September 16 and 17, 2011.

Sport has incredible power. It can:

• build community
• fortify national and community spirit
• break down social barriers
• teach leadership skills
• bolster self-confidence

Did you know?
In Canada today, nearly half of adults are considered inactive, and only 7% of children meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guideline recommending 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day.

During the second annual Sports Day, ParticipACTION, True Sport and CBC Sports are encouraging municipalities across Canada to show their support for sport and physical activity in their communities.
