Action Schools! BC Registered Schools Grant Recipients
The national Speaking of Food and Healthy Living Award, created by the Dietitians of Canada and Kraft Canada, was awarded to Action Schools! BC in June 2008. The annual award honours initiatives that support Canadians in their quest to eat healthier and be more active through sound and integrated nutrition and physical activity messages relevant to today's consumers.
The money received from the award was divided into ten grants of $250, designed to support healthy living in BC schools. All BC public, Independent, Francophone and Aboriginal schools registered for both the Physical Activity and Healthy Eating components of Action Schools! BC were entered into a draw and the ten recipients, two per Health Region, were drawn on April 1st, 2009.

Testimonials
Physical Activity
“Getting students fit, getting them doing things – it has helped with their learning, it has helped with their self esteem, it has helped with the whole climate in the school.” Educator
“Having those bins in the classroom with the skipping ropes and the balls has made a huge difference to how much activity goes on outside.” Educator
"We do Action Schools! BC because we believe it supports the philosophy that to be mentally healthy you need to be physically healthy." Administrator
"Many thanks for setting up an excellent Action Schools! BC workshop for our staff - everyone is 'pumped' to get active." Administrator
“The kids are more excited, more encouraged and I think the staff has played a huge role." Parent
“Action Schools! has helped me a lot because before I wasn’t that active and now I am like the activist kid in the whole family.” Student
"I love this initiative and feel so strongly about it that I can't seem to stop talking about it! " Regional Trainer
Healthy Eating
“We learned it’s not good to drink pop because it lowers our brain.” Student
“The students' awareness, their ability, their language, even their sense of fruits has been enhanced.” Educator
