As it marks its 10th anniversary, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine wants residents all across the region to live a healthy lifestyle.

The “Be Active with NOSM” campaign launched on Wednesday, encouraging physical activity for at least 30-minutes a day.

Dean Roger Strasser says the initiative is meant to help meet NOSM’s social accountability mandate which aims to improve the health of residents of Northern Ontario.

Deputy Dean and Associate Dean for Community Engagement at NOSM, David Marsh, says there will be several public events scheduled for over the next year.

Well-documented research shows regular physical activity contributes to better health.
