Get Active Toronto (GAT) works to encourage physical activity in the community. By collaborating with organizations from the private, public, and voluntary sector, GAT helps reduce barriers to physical activity in our city.

The inactivity of Toronto’s population, along with the rising rate of obesity, has created a crisis that has sharply increased the rate of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, and the onset of some cancers.

GAT brings together key community and corporate leaders to encourage Torontonians to get active by:

• Convening a varied group of organizations across the city
• Measuring and tracking the trend of inactivity in Toronto and GAT’s impact
• Leading coordinated action and communications to address the issue

GAT’s Board partners include:

• Toronto Community Foundation
• CBC
• Environics Analytics
• Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario
• Justin Poy Agency
• Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment
• Toronto Catholic District School Board
• Toronto District School Board
• Toronto Parks Forestry and Recreation
• Toronto Public Health
• Toronto Sports Council
• YMCA of Greater Toronto
