The 2012 Heartland Tour IS ON!

The sixth annual HeartLand Tour will be kicking off with an Atlantic Cardiology Society meeting planned for Wolfville on July 7th! The core team of the HeartLand Tour will be cycling across Nova Scotia with all-day events planned for Wolfville, Yarmouth, Bridgewater, Truro, Pictou County, Antigonish, and Inverness County before wrapping up in Halifax on July 15th.

The Heartland Tour is not a fundraiser! It is a public awareness campaign that uses the bicycle as a vehicle to educate and draw attention to a topic that is of vital importance - the unnecessary burden and growth of cardiac and general health risk factors in Nova Scotians of all ages. For 2012, our priority is to increase awareness and grow family participation, understanding that obesity and high blood pressure trends are a threat to our children, families and health care system. Our events are family friendly and we are also adding a nutritional component for the first time this year! For more information on our healthy lifestyle initiatives, please visit our Health Information page

As we stop by your community we invite you and your family members to come out and join us! Each community has a variety of fitness events to accommodate all abilities. Participation is free, there are bike draws, great snacks, and registered riders get a free sport t-shirt. Remember, the tour is not a fund-raiser, nor is it a race - rather it promotes a fun, healthy lifestyle in a Great Place... Your Community!!
