ABOUT

The Active Comox Valley (ACV) initiative began in September 2005, and is aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and invigorating community spirit through physical activity.

The Comox Valley is facing the challenges of a rapidly growing and aging population, coupled with housing affordability issues and rising health care costs. A fresh and sustainable approach is needed to meet these challenges head-on. Increasing physical activity rates and promoting good lifestyle choices are two preventative health-care initiatives for the long term.

ACV recognizes that there are real barriers to people getting more active, such as cost, accessibility and transportation issues. However, we firmly believe that an inclusive and focused grassroots campaign can overcome these hurdles

We support and promote activities which are affordable and accessible, like community walks and family-oriented events. Together as a community, we can forge a healthier and more sustainable way of life in the Comox Valley. Get up, get active!
