Ski for Life is aimed at encouraging people in
the communities of Ontario to participate in an

The term Ski for Life reflects two different aspects
of life:
we
are stressing the vitality and longevity of life
by promoting a healthy lifestyle which can prevent
cardiovascular disease from putting a premature
end to one's life by the occurrence of debilitating
heart attacks or strokes.
by
starting with an active, enjoyable, fun pursuit
for youngsters at age eight or nine, we are promoting
a lifelong pattern of activity which can be carried
on with vigour into one's sixties, seventies,
and eighties. This is in marked contrast to other
sporting activities for youngsters such as hockey,
basketball, or baseball which tend to come to
an end during one's late teenage years. |
