What is ACT-i-Pass?
London's Child & Youth Network (CYN), along with their partners, are happy to offer the ACT-i-Pass to Grade 5 students in the City of London, City of St. Thomas, Middlesex County, Oxford County, and Elgin County for the 2023-2024 school year. By using the pass, Grade 5 students (plus 1) will have FREE access to skating, swimming, different sports, rounds of golf, and other activities. This cohort has been chosen as research shows that physical activity begins to decrease in children as early as the age of 9 years. If children can access physical activity opportunities, they will be given a chance at better health, longer lives, less illness, reduced screen time, and more play!
How can I register my child? To register your child for a 2023-2024 ACT-i-Pass, your child must be enrolled in a Grade 5 class in September of 2023. Complete the registration form at the link provided: Registration Link.
What is the Purpose? The purpose of the program is to increase a child's ability to participate in physical activity, which can improve health, lengthen life, decrease illness, reduce screen time, and increase play in their lives! This project has been endorsed by, and has passed the ethical standards of, Western University and all school boards.
Why Evaluate the Program? Our team is studying the effectiveness of the Child & Youth Network's Grade 5 ACT-i-Pass Program, to evaluate its effectiveness for improving children's access to public recreation facilities and programs, and increasing their participation in physical activities.
Participation in this study is completely voluntary and is not required to receive the ACT-i-Pass.
