2010 Honour Your Health Challenge
What is the Honour Your Health Challenge?
The Honour Your Health Challenge, featuring the HYHC SunRun Aboriginal InTraining Program, is a province-wide, community-based health initiative program which mobilizes individuals and communities to live active, healthy and strong lifestyles. The Honour Your Health Challenge was initiated in 2000 as a tobacco reduction program, and has since evolved to include all the pillars of ActNow BC: increased physical activity, healthy eating, promoting smoke-free environments and healthy pregnancies.
