About the Program
The City of Grande Prairie is excited to participate in the Prescription to Get Active Program and the Primary Care Network. This unique initiative allows healthcare providers to prescribe physical activity, helping individuals lead healthier lifestyles by writing patients who would benefit from increased physical activity a ‘prescription’.
Participants can redeem their prescription for free access at various activities at local recreation partner facilities and organizations, including the Eastlink Centre.
Eligibility
The goal of the program is to target individuals that can benefit from exercise without specific supervision or medical restrictions. This includes children, youth, adults and seniors. Please consult with your family physician to ensure if this program is right for you.
