Fitness: Support the Adult Fitness Tax Credit Campaign!

On January 1, 2007 the Children's Fitness Tax Credit came into effect. This credit will cover eligible fees up to $500 per child for enrolment in physical activity programs. The purpose of this credit is to help Canadian children maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

During the last federal election, the Conservative Party of Canada promised Canadians they would consider extending such a plan "for all ages."
It is well documented that a regular routine of strength and cardio training combined with balanced nutrition can prevent or significantly lower the risk of developing many diseases, thereby lowering the need for medical attention for the treatment of those diseases.

We are asking the government to consider extending the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to include all active Canadians by introducing an Adult Fitness Tax Credit.

The Adult Fitness Tax Credit campaign is your chance to tell the Government of Canada all active Canadians should receive a tax credit for contributing to lowering national health care costs while maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
