Active Workplaces

An Active workplace is one that values the benefits of physical activity, creates a supportive environment for employees to make the choice to become more physically active, and works towards the goal of creating a supportive environment that results in an increase in physical activity levels by its employees.

 

Safe Recreation Facilities

One of our goals is to ensure that the Island’s recreational facilities maintain the healthiest environment possible. Recreation PEI achieves this standard by:

• Supporting proper training and certification for staff
• Promoting tobacco-free indoor and outdoor sport and recreation facilities
• Favouring Healthy Food Choices in concession areas
• Overseeing Safe Physical Environments, e.g. safety netting, carbon monoxide detectors, Automatic External Defibrillation Units (AED's)
• Encouraging Energy Efficiency. Developing the 'Greening' of facilities to reduce electricity costs and encourage environmental stewardship. To apply for a grant to have an Energy Audit from the PEI Government click here.
• Fostering a Healthy Social Atmosphere, e.g. managing spectator violence
  Championing physical activity for spectators
