The Importance of Being Safe

Physical activity and getting fresh air are important for our overall physical and mental wellness. There are ways to be active either at home or outside while keeping physical distance and being safe.  

Most neighbourhood sidewalks, streets, multi-use trails and dog parks are all available to get outside and get moving. When using these facilities, some ways to stay safe: 

• Step-aside or pass others quickly and courteously on sidewalks.
• Keep two metres (six feet) distance from others or wear a mask if this is not possible. 
• When moving at a fast pace (such as when running or cycling), it is best to stay as far away from others as possible.
• If you must be behind another runner or cyclist, stay well back and try to stagger yourselves so as to not be directly behind them.
• Avoid times when large numbers of people are using facilities
