Kids were being kept active and entertained during last week’s Active Healthy Tamariki Expo at the EA Networks Centre.
The joint collaboration between Sport Canterbury and Kai for Kids offered families useful tools, in formation and resources for keeping children healthy – physically, mentally and emotionally.
There plenty of sporting activities, games such as volleyball and badminton, a chill-out zone and displays as well as take home products like vegetable seeds and information to encourage children to get moving and for families to eat healthy.
