The 4th annual PARC Conference brought together physical activity promoters from different sectors across the province including public health, community health, and recreation. Together we are Making It Happen! by getting more Ontarians active!
Together, we spent two days networking, sharing, planning, learning and having fun!
We were thrilled with the 2006 PARC Conference Keynote Speakers:

On Monday, February 6th, we were pleased to welcome Dr. Marla Shapiro, the host of Balance: Television for Living Well, the daily half-hour show that gives viewers health and lifestyle information. Dr. Shapiro is a Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto and is also in full time practice.
On Tuesday, February 7th, we were excited to have the Minister of Health Promotion, the Honourable Jim Watson. In June 2005, Mr. Watson was appointed Ontario's first Minister of Health Promotion, and is responsible for advancing the government's preventative health initiatives including healthy lifestyles, sport, physical activity, recreation, disease prevention and community health awareness.
