A new report from Active Healthy Kids Canada finds children in this country aren’t reaching physical activity targets. Kids were assigned a “D-minus” grade for overall physical activity levels. Mozambique and New Zealand topped the list of 14 countries in the report with a “B” grade. Canada lagged near the back along with the United States. The annual Report Card found 62% of parents said their 5-to-17-year-olds were always driven to and from school. The report also found that Canadian parents say there are available parks, facilities and programs for physical activity, but they aren’t making sure their kids use them.

It was a blustery arrival for Prince Charles and Camilla as they touched down in Winnipeg yesterday. The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince of Wales arrived at CFB Winnipeg amidst fog and rain, greeting a throng of VIPs including Premier Greg Selinger and Mayor Sam Katz. This morning they will meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and will end in the evening at the legislature. The royals are on a four-day tour of Canada. They landed in Halifax on Sunday evening and toured the province before stopping in Prince Edward Island. The tour, which is expected to cost taxpayers more than $720,000, wraps up later today.
