Preventing Falls Through Physical Activity: A Guide for People Working with
Older Adults
The Alberta Centre for Active Living is pleased to launch a new resource for
people who are helping older adults to be more physically active.
Preventing Falls Through Physical Activity: A Guide for People Working with
Older Adults is a 38-page booklet specifically designed for activity leaders
in rural communities. The guide is very useful for people in urban settings
as well.
The guide was developed through a grant from the Community Injury Control
Fund from the Alberta Centre for Injury Control & Research and with input
from a provincial advisory committee.
The Guide can be downloaded from the Alberta Centre for Active Living
website, duplicated and shared freely.
Our other resource The Rural Route to Active Aging: A Guide for People Who
Want to Stay Active as They Age is also available on the website. This
resource complements Preventing Falls Through Physical Activity.
The Alberta Centre for Active Living is funded by the Alberta Sport,
Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
