About Us
The Healthy Tomorrow Foundation is a registered charity created in 2018 by Doctors Nova Scotia. Its mission is to create a happy and healthy tomorrow for all those living in Nova Scotians- Mi'kma'ki through movement.
The Foundation is proud to support the ongoing success of Kids Run Club, a free, award-winning program that has been inspiring as many as 18,000 children across Nova Scotia annually since 2004. By addressing barriers to participation, Kids Run Club not only gives participants a chance to be active, but also fosters strong and healthy school communities while encouraging lifelong healthy habits.
In 2020, the Foundation expanded its focus to reach even more Nova Scotians. Make Your Move is a public awareness and engagement campaign that encourages Nova Scotians to move more throughout the day, ultimately contributing to a cultural shift in which movement is regularly incorporated into Nova Scotians daily lives.
In 2022, Make Your Move at Work, a free wellness program was introduced, building on the concept of Make Your Move. The program recognizes the vital role workplaces play in shaping and supporting daily habits and empowers employers to support their workforce in integrating physical activity into the workday. By fostering a culture of movement, participating organizations have seen improvements in employee morale, productivity and overall well-being.
