The Games are also important because they can engage us in pursuing healthier, more active lifestyles. Watching our own great athletes train and perform gives us the sense that goals are in reach—losing those few extra pounds, taking that morning walk, eating healthy, local food, hitting the gym, local trails, the rink or the pool.
An Ontario that's eating right and getting fit, with whole communities pursuing more active lifestyle, is more productive and puts less strain on health care. And let's face it – it feels great!
