Game On! is a program that targets boys in grade 7 and 8 and is designed to provide them with the tools necessary to assist them in making healthy choices around the issues of physical activity, nutrition and the world around them.

Game On! matches groups of boys with male mentors aged 18 to 26. The key to the program’s success is the relationship that forms between the boys and their mentors. Game On! runs for 7 to 10 weeks during lunch time in local elementary schools throughout St. Catharines and Thorold. Each session is 1-2 hours in length and allows participants to take part in fun, educational and active games, healthy snack breaks and discussions aimed at making healthier choices.
