"An estimated 32% of adults over the age of 18 in Simcoe County are overweight, 21% are obese - and a sedentary lifestyle is the chief culprit. Inactivity costs the health care system in the County an estimated $5.1 billion per year.
Encouraging 'Active Transportation' - walking, running, cycling, skiing, skateboarding - is part of the County's strategy to promote healthy lifestyles - and a connected trail system is a key component of that strategy. Trails are also an economic driver, attracting tourism dollars, providing environmental benefits and educational opportunities."
