Furey says, "Together, our collective actions are bringing us closer to the goal of being one of the healthiest provinces in the country by 2031.”
Well-Being Week 2024 will run from September 22 to 28th in NL. To help raise awareness of the week, Premier Andrew Furey announced the dates yesterday saying “Well-Being Week 2024 will feature events for residents at communities throughout the province.” He says, “Although change doesn’t happen overnight, what starts today, will improve tomorrow. Together, our collective actions are bringing us closer to the goal of being one of the healthiest provinces in the country by 2031.” Well-being isn’t just about physical activity, it’s a fundamental part of a person’s overall health and can include everything from physical, mental, social, economic and environmental factors. These factors are known as the social determinants of health, which could mean access to safe housing, good food, clean water, education, childcare, social connection, and safety.
As well, community groups, organizations, businesses, municipal and Indigenous governments that are planning activities and would like to promote their events on the Well-Being Week 2024 Events Calendar can contact info@wellbeing.ca. A tool kit is also available with resources, including posters and social media templates.
