Learn
Learn about the issues and why improving inclusion and access to physical activity is important in your community.
Health inequity happens when some people in the community do not have an equal chance to be healthy because of social or economic factors.
Social inclusion can help mitigate the effects of these social and economic factors by ensuring the needs of all community members are considered.
