SPORTFIT
With excitement building for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, many BC communities are using SportFit to engage their citizens during Torch Relay celebrations and events leading up to the Games.
SportFit is a unique, interactive Olympic and Paralympic sport discovery experience which features eight fun, non-competitive activity stations. Participants complete a short online survey about their personal preferences, and SportFit matches their abilities and preferences to generate a personalized certificate listings three summer and three winter sports that may suit their abilities and interests.
SportFit will be part of the Torch Relay celebrations in the following BC communities: Abbotsford, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nelson, Osoyoos, Port Hardy, Prince George, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Terrace, and Vancouver. For dates and more information, please visit www.sportfitcanada.com/news.
