The PARC Physical Activity Symposium took place on Tuesday & Wednesday, March 4 - 5, 2008 at The Crowne Plaza Toronto Don Valley.  It was a huge success with over 130 physical activity promoters representing the various regions in Ontario!  The keynote speakers, panel presentations and workshops were very informative and the table talk session along with various networking opportunities, provided an excellent opportunity for health promoters to learn from one another and translate all of the research presented into practice.  We’d like to thank all those involved for making this year’s symposium a huge success.  Please see below for presentations from the symposium:
