Sports and Physical Activity Strategy

On April 28, 2008, Ajax Council approved a Sports and Physical Activity Strategy. The strategy is intended to increase physical activity opportunities and build public awareness as to the importance of active living for Ajax residents. The strategy proposes a number of initiatives the Town and its community partners should consider to improve levels of activity.

There are eight goal statements supported by 60 recommended actions for the first five years. The strategy recommends, for years one and two, initiatives such as a launch event to excite and motivate residents to embrace an active lifestyle, appoint a spokesperson to lead the call to action, develop an Active Living Rewards Program and introduce pedometer challenges.
