Move for Health Day is an international event created in 2002 by the World Health Organization to promote physical activity. At the Comox Community Centre, we celebrate how the movement supports living happy and healthy lives. Physical activity and exercise can look different for everyone, and there are so many ways to move. No matter what it looks like for you, physical activity can help improve mental health, prevent chronic disease, and boost energy levels.
