Recreation NL’s goal is to increase awareness of active living through targeted events, community resources and communication supports.
Our ambassador, Dr. TA Loeffler has been a strong advocate and promoter of the campaign along with our Physical Activity Advisory Committee who assists with the overall development, collaboration, coordination and delivery of the Campaign.

Active for Life is a physical activity program designed to assist older adults with maintaining their health and quality of life, while reducing their risk of falls. This program focuses on physical activity as a way to maintain or increase mobility, strengthen muscles, improve balance and reduce the risk of falling among older adults. The Active for Life program consists of a warm-up, strengthening exercises, balance exercises, obstacle course that will test many different skills and abilities and a cool down.
Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, in partnership with ParticipACTION and supported by Recreation NL, continue to collaborate to inspire Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to be physically active.
This partnership provides continuous physical activity information, research and resources to all partners, in a collective quest of achieving a province of active communities, where all people embrace the benefits of recreation to enhance their quality of life.

We have gathered information and resources to assist with camping experience.
While we continue to practice public health recommendations of physical distancing and spending more time at home, we can still stay active, creative and have fun! Whether you have never camped before or an avid camper, you may be surprised how much fun you can have camping at home. No special equipment or expertise required.
Recreation NL has gathered information and resources to help you plan your own camping at home experience.
