Life is frequently measured by benchmarks that help remind us of progress. Unfortunately, we oftentimes do not take the time to celebrate these benchmarks though. If you were lucky enough to join us in Toronto, Congratulations! I believe you were part of history in the making. By all measures and expectations, the meeting was an unqualified success. The 3rd International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health was actually the first where ISPAH was an “official” organization. The traction we have gained since the first International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health in Atlanta is measureable and A very public THANK YOU to the Toronto Organizing Committee, led by Dr. Barry McPherson, for all their hard work.
More than 1,200 delegates from nearly 50 countries were with us in Toronto. The Toronto Charter for Physical Activity, led by the GAPA, The Advocacy Council of ISPAH, played a critical role at the Congress.
