The HUB: Who Are We?
We are an established team of diverse scholars spanning eight different Faculties at Western University and a Community Advisory Council comprised of patient partners and community organization representatives with a variety of lived experiences and diverse perspectives based in London, Ontario, Canada.
We are ideally positioned to be a national and world leader on implementation of physical activity recommendations with a multidisciplinary focus as evidenced by our strong links to community partners, clinical practices, access to physical activity testing and prescription, and the expertise across multiple Faculties and disciplines.
Our Mission
To advocate for and implement meaningful, sustainable and culturally relevant physical activity opportunities within our community and beyond.
