National Health & Fitness Day is Saturday, June 4th
National Health and Fitness Day (NHFD) is an initiative to make Canada the Fittest Nation on Earth, starting with marking one day, the first Saturday in June as the day when Canadians get out and get active in any way they wish.
Over the last few years, MP John Weston has worked with Senator Nancy Greene Raine to involve the 338 MPs and the 100 Senators to encourage cities and towns across the country to proclaim the day and mark it with local events. Hundreds of communities have already proclaimed the day and the National Health and Fitness Day Act, Bill S-211, became law in December 2014!
