About Us

The Active Canterbury website is an initiative of the Canterbury Physical Activity and Nutrition Group (CIPANG). The group's goal is to work collectively and collaboratively to improve the nutrition and physical activity levels of the Canterbury population.

The website aims to give the general public, physical activity providers, health professionals (including GP's and Practice Nurses) the tools and information needed to get more people in Canterbury to be more active, more often.

The Active Canterbury Network (formally Push Play with Active Canterbury), is a sub group of CIPANG. The role of the network is to support community Physical Activity providers. This includes offering training, networking and development opportunities to providers, often at low cost or for free.
