What does your “active” look like? Share your thoughts and encourage others.

Active Aging in Manitoba (AAIM) would like to hear from you about what being active means to you and how you plan on redefining active in your life.  AAIM encourages you to participate in this brief survey about “redefining active”.

Active can mean many different things.  It can mean physical activity, like cycling, snow shoveling or walking the dog.  It can also mean learning to play an instrument or volunteering time & skills for a worthy cause or supporting others to be a participant in something.

Take a few moments to share what active looks like to you. 

Your response will be anonymous and aggregated with the other responses to show the preferences of older Manitobans, trends in redefining active and how we can change the way we think about aging.

Please answer the following questions:

Question Title

* 1. Considering your age, abilities, interests and opportunities, what does being active look like to you?  (please do not limit your response to physical activity only)

Question Title

* 2. If someone was observing you being active, describe what they would be seeing? (in a typical day in your life)
