Organizations that work with kids from 0 to 12 years old are encouraged to register for the Healthy Kids Community Challenge.
The theme this time around is “Power off and Play, reducing recreational screen time for children.”
Local Project Manager Jaclyn Shewchuk says limiting screen time is beneficial for youth, especially at certain times like an hour before bed since the light hinders a person’s ability to fall into a deep sleep.
Shewchuk also says it is a good idea to limit screen time during meals as well.
Partnership and funding support of up to 3 thousand dollars can be provided to participating organizations.
Registration ends on February 16th.
