One of the topics on the Committee Of The Whole agenda on Tuesday was the Healthy Kids Community Challenge.  The challenge was also discussed at Monday’s City Council meeting.  Over the next three years, work will be done to improve the health of area children and their families through the rollout of three phases.  Each phase will last about nine months, with the first highlighting a focus on physical activity.  The challenge will get rolling with a ball hockey event for kids 12 and under next Saturday from 1:30 to 3:30 on Queen Street in front of the Essar Centre.  Sault Ste. Marie is among 45 communities in the province selected to take part in the challenge.
