Who We Are
Working together in collaborative partnership, Kingston Gets Active is a dedicated team that strives to mobilize communities to increase the number of accessible active opportunities.
Our Mission:
The goal of Kingston Gets Active is to promote, encourage, and support citizens to be active on a regular basis, and enjoy the many health benefits that come from being physically active.
Our Vision:
Kingston Gets Active is a community-wide initiative that raises awareness of the benefits of physical activity and helps to create and enhance opportunities that will enable our residents to be physically active on a regular basis.
KGA exists for the purpose of increasing the number of physically active citizens in Kingston. KGA works actively:
- to build community capacity;
- to link resources, events and opportunities;
- to reduce barriers to individual behavioural change;
- to create supportive environments in which our citizens learn, commute, work and play.
KGA addresses the need for a multi-level approach by implementing action plans that target various areas of community life such as educational and promotional activities; social marketing and communication; and infrastructure and public policy strategies.
