 Let’s Get Moving New Glasgow

Lets Get Moving New Glasgow

In 2006, Nova Scotia launched the Municipal Physical Activity Leadership (MPAL) program in partnership with municipalities across the Province. The MPAL program was created in response to growing physical inactivity trends in Nova Scotia. The Town of New Glasgow joined the MPAL program in 2018 and since then, the MPAL has worked with the Province, Town and Community to create Let’s Get Moving New Glasgow: A strategic plan to encourage movement in New Glasgow.

The Strategy was developed in consonance with the Shared Strategy for Advancing Recreation in Nova Scotia and Let’s Get Moving Nova Scotia. The long-term goal of Let’s Get Moving New Glasgow is to encourage citizens to live an active lifestyle by incorporating more movement into their daily lives. Moving more every day is associated with physical and mental health, social, economic and environmental benefits. Taking advantage of these benefits by being more active positively impacts the quality of life for individuals and the community. Click here for Let’s Get Moving New Glasgow.
