The mission of the Alberta Centre for Active Living is to work with practitioners, organizations, and communities to improve the health and quality of life of Albertans through physical activity. The Centre is a key advocate of physical activity for all Albertans and a primary source of research and education on physical activity for practitioners, organizations, and decision-makers.
The Alberta Centre for Active Living has four main research priority areas:
- understanding the determinants of physical activity;
- understanding interventions, "best practices" and programs related to physical activity;
- monitoring the status of physical activity in the province of Alberta; and,
- reinforcing the case for incorporating physical activity into daily life.
