solve problems and learn limits,” said Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Par- ticipACTION Report Card, and Director of HALO-CHEO. “Kids move more when they are outside, have some freedom to roam unsupervised, and engage fully with their environments, which will set them up to be more resilient and less likely to develop chronic diseases in the long run.” Local data is in line with the findings in the ParticipACTION Report Card, showing that kids in Eastern Ontario are not getting enough physical activity for overall health and wellbeing. Active play, including outdoor play, is important so that children and youth deve- lop not just the skills but also themotivation and confidence to lead physically active lives. “The Report Card’s findings and the Position Statement highlight the need for kids to have regular outdoor active play. But they also speak to the role we all play in providing safe and accessible spaces for them to do so,” said Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health. Two of the lowest grades in the Report Card this year are a D- for Sedentary Beha- viour and a D- for Overall Physical Activity. It finds that child and youth physical activity levels remain alarmingly low, with only nine per cent of five to 17-year-olds meeting the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines of 60minutes per day of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity. solve problems and learn limits,” said Dr. Mark Tremblay, Chief Scientific Officer, Par- ticipACTION Report Card, and Director of HALO-CHEO. “Kids move more when they are outside, have some freedom to roam unsupervised, and engage fully with their environments, which will set them up to be more resilient and less likely to develop chronic diseases in the long run.” Local data is in line with the findings in the ParticipACTION Report Card, showing that kids in Eastern Ontario are not getting enough physical activity for overall health and wellbeing.

“In order to help ensure Canadian child- ren get enough heart-pumping activity, we need to recognize that they are competent and capable to go out and explore on their own or with friends,” says Elio Antunes, President and CEO, ParticipACTION. “This will also allow them to have more fun and learn how tomanage and assess risks inde- pendently. Childrenmovemore, sit less and play longer in self-directed outdoor play, so the biggest risk is keeping our kids super- vised indoors.” “In order to help ensure Canadian child- ren get enough heart-pumping activity, we need to recognize that they are competent and capable to go out and explore on their own or with friends,” says Elio Antunes, President and CEO, ParticipACTION. “This will also allow them to have more fun and learn how tomanage and assess risks inde- pendently.

Despite research showing kids are more likely to be physically active when playing outdoors and less likely to engage in higher levels of physical activity if a supervising adult is present, safety concerns have lead to excessive supervision, jeopardizing child- ren’s long-term health.

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) states while some outdoor activities are risky and could lead to injuries, the vast majority are minor, so it’s time to consider getting out of kids’ way to let them play. “We have lost the balance between short-term safety and long-term health. In outdoor play, risk doesn’t mean courting danger, but rather giving kids the freedom to assess their sur- roundings and make decisions, allowing them to build confidence, develop skills, The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) states while some outdoor activities are risky and could lead to injuries, the vast majority are minor, so it’s time to consider getting out of kids’ way to let them play. “We have lost the balance between short-term safety and long-term health.
