Canada in motion
The in motion program has achieved many successes since its creation. Aside from garnering much attention from Saskatoon Health Region residents and media organizations, many communities across Canada have approached the Health Region for advice on implementing their own physical activity health promotion models. To date, a number of communities have adopted the in motion model (see Communities in motion section). Another measure of success, the in motion team has won numerous awards and have been asked to discuss their model in a number of national and international conferences. The added support of national corporate sponsorship lead in motion to move forward on a national basis.
Starting with the belief that Canadian communities are interested in helping their residents lead physically active lifestyles which provides health benefits, the mission of Canada in motion is:
"To help communities develop physical activity health promotion strategies based on the in motion model."
This mission became the foundation for in motion's National vision as:
"the physical activity health promotion model of choice for communities across Canada."
