Sport and wellbeing program to be introduced in Whyalla

The Connected and Active Communities Project has been expanded to Whyalla after last year’s successful pilot in Port Lincoln and the Limestone Coast.

The program involves utilising local project officers to lead initiatives that will improve the health and wellbeing of local sporting communities.

This is part of a State Government-backed program to strengthen local sport participation, after stats revealed 23 per cent of children up to the age of 14 participate in three or more sports or physical activities per week.
