Bookmarksin selected community libraries;
Paid advertisements in selected parent magazines;
Ideas for Local Media Initiatives:
You can enhance the provincial media coverage by working with local media. Consider sending camera ready ads, radio PSAs or feature stories to your local media contacts. Arrange for a media interview with a knowledgeable service provider or with a physically active family and their 2 to 5 year old child. Write articles about local statistics and concerns about physical activity and health issues. For more information about working with the media, see: Tips for Working with the Media (in development).
