1. HOT TOPIC IN HEALTHY LIVING FROM THE ALBERTA CENTRE FOR ACTIVE LIVING
To coincide with the SummerActive event, the Alberta Centre for Active
Living is coordinating five Hot Topics in Healthy Living. The centre has
produced this week's Hot Topic information sheet, "Taking Steps toward
Improved Health," which describes the many benefits of walking.

This Hot Topic is available at
http://www.centre4activeliving.ca/Education/HotTopics/index.html today.

During the SummerActive campaign, the Alberta Centre for Active Living will
post a new Hot Topic every Tuesday on its web site. Watch for further e-mail
messages as each Hot Topic information sheet is posted!
