Students are struggling with their health in these new realities. Physical inactivity is not a question of physical health but #MentalHealth too. More DPA, reinforcement of school health behaviours at home & creating a culture that supports #HPE is needed. https://t.co/ZOVWO2IESG

Meanwhile in Ontario, the government has mandated eLearning courses to all high school students in the province without considering whether or not students have adequate access to the Internet or to any technologies required. https://t.co/oh6iLqHYgg smh. #edchat#onted
I feel absolutely horrible for my colleagues to the east. Ontario has an incredible, world-renowned education system which is primarily to the credit and built off the backs of its teachers. Ford is destroying education in the province. #edchat#onted

The athletic facilities in Canada’s public grade school system are pathetic. It’s such a shame that my kids are playing in the same tiny gyms that I played in 30 plus years ago. How do we change this as a nation?
Getting so excited for @durhamdsb and our first #hpe conference on Monday October 22nd. Look for our team when you are there and say hello. A lot of hard work by a small group of dedicated people to make this happen. #ddsbhpeconference2018
A large body of research has shown that physical activity can improve memory, attention span, concentration and creativity. A US study has shown that exercise and recreation activities boost university students' test scores, credit completion and graduation odds.
A new study published in Pediatrics supports the use of physical activity to improve academic performance (particularly in math and reading) and classroom behaviour (like more focused and less disruptive).
