Secondary Schools Share their Healthy Living Stories with 2010 Legacies Now
Secondary schools around the Province are finding exciting ways to offer and promote healthier food choices, and encourage healthy living practices amongst students. From January-April 2009, leaders from these schools submitted their healthy living stories to the healthyeatingatschool.ca website, hosted by the BC Dairy Foundation to share information about the people and programs inspiring their staff and students to lead healthier, more active lifestyles.
Each month, up to ten submissions were randomly drawn and the winning schools received 60 free pedometers from 2010 Legacies Now for sharing their stories. Winners from this contest included:
• Rutland Senior Secondary, Kelowna
• Spencer Middle School, Victoria
• Golden Secondary School, Golden
• Brooks Secondary School, Powell River
• Merritt Secondary School, Merritt
• Captain Meares Elementary-Secondary School, Tahsis
• Reynolds Secondary School, Victoria
• David Thompson Secondary School, Vancouver

• Kelly Road Secondary School, Prince George
• Lighthouse Christian Academy, Victoria
• Johnson Heights Secondary School, Surrey
• Don Ross Secondary School, Brackendale
• Valleyview Secondary School, Kamloops

The pedometer incentive is a 2010 Legacies Now initiative supported by ActNow BC through the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Healthy Living and Sport.
