Thank you to everyone who joined us this, our 20th year.
The Tour events, including our virtual physical activity challenges, have concluded for 2026. Our call to action continues, keep moving, more is better. Make better food choices - more of the good, less of the bad.
Don't let seeking perfection get in the way of doing a good job. If you slip - and most of us will - just pick yourself up and keep going.
What is the Heartland Tour all about?
Studies conducted with identical twins prove that our health is about 25% determined by our genes. This means the rest is up to us! Our Dr. Nick speaks of "modifiable risk factors" - things in our life that increase the chance of disease (cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, poor mental health) over which each of us has some control. Two of the most important are regular physical activity and the food choices we make every day.
It is not that difficult, and it does not have to be perfect - it all counts and it all matters.
Stay physically active by moving your body more and sitting less throughout your day.
In terms of what we eat, enjoy more real food (those that go bad fairly quickly) and less of the poor foods (highly processed, packaged stuff that will last for a long time).
Need for more information? Canada's 24-hour Movement Guidelines are a good place to start, you will find them by clicking on this link - https://csepguidelines.ca/. We agree with the Guidelines... make your whole day matter. For what to eat, refer to Canada's Food Guide - https://food-guide.canada.ca/.
Our goal is to encourage, inspire and support your personal journey to maintaining, improving and/or restoring your health. We hope we are helping you in a meaningful way.
The Board of Directors and our entire team of volunteers acknowledge that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'Kmaq people.
