“Adults who demonstrate more playful personality traits are more motivated, creative and spontaneous.” Who wouldn’t want this in your personal and professional life? #playwell #playforlife #playforhealth

Ensuring all children (of all ages!) are able to access play and experience the health, wellbeing, & developmental benefits of outdoor play is an 'all-of-us' responsibility, and one of the major priorities we identified in the #OutdoorPlaySSR

Recess is a critical part of the day & one that doesn’t happen by chance. Intentional & purposeful planning is needed to support the part of the day when children get to choose what they want to do. #wellness

Research clearly shows that play is fundamental for children’s health & well-being. Unfortunately, there continue to be barriers to children's free, self-directed play.
@ipa_canada is working to promote the right to play. #OutdoorPlay @OutdoorPlayCA
