The Get Moving Project, taking place at the Yorkton Springers Gymnastics Club, received $3,900 from Saskatchewan Lotteries.
“The idea is to get kids and families active,” said Kim Gelowitz, Early Years Facilitator with the Yorkton Family Resource Centre.
The program, which is an outreach program put on by the Family Resource Centre, has a variety of movement programs for children from newborn to 5 years, including a swimming class, walking group, gymnastics and dance at Jump ‘n Jam.
The program is designed to help parents and families meet the guidelines set for physical activity and sedentary behaviour, which includes education about limiting screen time and increasing activity.
It also helps, through music and movement, increase fitness as well as self-confidence.
