Lethbridge YMCA Inspiring Teens to Be Active

Aug 6, 2016 | 9:35 AM

LETHBRIDGE – The YMCA wants to help curb teen obesity and inactivity.

For the rest of this month, YMCA Lethbridge is offering free summer memberships to youth ages 13-17.

The YMCA credits the healthy lifestyle initiative to a 2015 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth, which showed that less than nine per-cent of youth under age 18 get the recommended 60 minutes of active play a day.

The YMCA Teen Summer Membership is available until August 31, 2016.
