Since our inception in 1996, the Champlain Initiative and its partners have worked collaboratively to improve the health of our community.  Our Get Moving! campaign now provides you with the resources to stay fit and eat healthy - on a budget and within your busy schedule.

Staying fit means many things - walking, biking and other activities that keep bodies of all shapes and sizes fit.  It can be as easy as taking a 10 minute walk to the store each day, biking to work or kicking a soccer ball with your kids.

Eating healthy means making choices to balance what you eat - not denying yourself some guilty pleasures.  You can do this by preparing simple, healthy dinners, bringing healthy leftovers for lunch and shopping at stores that offer fresh fruit and vegetables.

Through our Changing Face of Chittenden County project, the Champlain Initiative and our partners offer:

• Stories showing how people are embracing the active living and healthy eating opportunities;
• Indicators to paint a picture of our status and progress;
• What You Can Do
• Tools and Resources
