The CCHALW contributes to the advancement of health and active living at work by providing resources, tools and expertise to active living and health professionals in Canadian workplaces. In 1989, the former Canadian Centre for Active Living in the Workplace (CCALW) was created. It produced a comprehensive "Working Actively Together" blueprint and had made tangible progress in its implementation until the federal government in 1993 announced funding cuts. In 1996, the group of dedicated volunteers government in 1993 announced funding cuts. In 1996, the group of dedicated volunteers decided to reevaluate the Committee's mandate, mission, structure and name. Under the name, Canadian Council for Health and Active Living at Work, the Council adopted it current mission. 1, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Council%20for%20Health%20and%20Active%20Living%20at%20Work

Le Conseil canadien de la santé et de la vie active au travail(CCSVAT ou le Conseil) est un organisme bénévole sans but lucratif qui assure leadership et soutien aux professionnels canadiens de la promotion de la santé et de la vie active s’efforçant de créer des milieux de travail plus sains. Aujourd’hui, le CCSVAT maintient un solide partenariat avec l'Unité de l'activité physique de Santé Canada et collabore avec de nombreux autres organismes afin de concevoir des initiatives originales et d’offrir des ressources et des recherches axées sur la promotion de la santé et de la vie active au travail. Créé en 1989, le défunt Centre canadien pour la vie active en milieu de travail(CCVAMT) élabora un plan d’action global intitulé Working Actively Together dont la mise en œuvre progressa de façon tangible jusqu'à l'annonce des compressions budgétaires en 1993. En 1996, le groupe de dévoués bénévoles a décidé de repenser le mandat, la mission, la structure et le nom du comité. Il a alors choisi le nom de Conseil canadien de la santé et de la vie active au travail et a élaboré son actuel énoncé de mission. 1, record 2, French, - Conseil%20canadien%20de%20la%20sant%C3%A9%20et%20de%20la%20vie%20active%20au%20travail

The Business Case for Active Living at Work is the third major initiative undertaken by Health Canada to improve the physical activity levels of Canadians since 1998. The first two initiatives were the launch in 1998 of Canada's Physical Activity Guide to Healthy, Active Living followed by Canada's Physical Activity Guide for Older Adults in 1999. The Business Case for Active Living at Work has been developed in partnership with the Canadian Council for Health and Active Living at Work (CCHALW). This Business Case for Active Living at Work suggests the benefits of being active in the workplace, summarizes the research that has been done, provides some information about what works and how to get started, and provides a template for practitioners to use in developing a business case for active living in their own organizations. 1, record 4, English, - The%20Business%20Case%20for%20Active%20Living%20at%20Work
