Pause to Play
This Pause to Play section is a collection of program materials developed by public health units across Ontario for Pause to Play Week (also called No Screens, TV turnoff, Turn off the Screens, Go Outside the Box etc.). The purpose of the Pause to Play section on the PARC webiste is to provide a centralized sharing and learning area for PA promoters working on this initiative to minimize duplication, and to facilitate the provincial coordination of Pause to Play Week across Ontario; ultimately, making no screens week more effective as a method of increasing Physical Activity levels, and decreasing screen time in communities across Ontario.
Pause to Play Toolkit
This toolkit was developed by PARC in collaboration with the Pause to Play Advisory Committee representing Public Health Units across Ontario.
It consists of four components as outlined below:
Pause to Play Backgrounder & Key Messages
Pause to Play Guidelines & Key Learnings
Pause to Play Research Document
Media Release Guideline & Media Release Sample
