Information about our Communities

In motion is a successful health promotion strategy, resulting in a sustained increase in physical activity rates. In 2006, communities across Wellington County, Dufferin County and the City of Guelph came together to address the alarming rates of physical inactivity in our region. A partnership was formed, called Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) in motion. WDG in motion is a regional collaborative that has operated for 6 years and launched publicly on October 3, 2007, in conjunction with the World Record Walk.

"Our inactivity is a result of many factors including the time spent in vehicles, on the computer, watching television and playing video games."
