Healthy Tomorrow Foundation
Creating a happy and healthy tomorrow for all Nova Scotians through movement.
The Healthy Tomorrow Foundation is committed to developing and delivering campaigns, programs and resources that enhance the well-being of all Nova Scotians through movement.
Our marquee program, Kids Run Club, is a free, school-based recreational running program designed to give children and youth an opportunity to embrace active, healthy living. Since 2004, Kids Run Club has successfully grown from just 3,500 participants and 58 schools to, at its peak, more than 17,000 participants and 270 schools province-wide.
In 2020, we expanded our focus to reach even more Nova Scotians. The Make Your Move campaign encourages Nova Scotians to integrate short bouts of simple movement in their daily activities. The goal is to ultimately contribute to a cultural shift in which movement is regularly incorporated into people’s daily lives.
Building on the success of Make Your Move, our Make Your Move at Work program is designed to help Nova Scotians be more active during the workday. This program is equipped with evidence-based resources that employers can use to inspire and support their workforce to be less sedentary and move more throughout the day. Whether employees are working in a traditional office or from home, Make Your Move at Work meets everyone where they are.
