Annotation:

Two major surveys recently examined physical activity levels in Alberta: the Alberta Survey on Physical Activity (García Bengoechea, & Spence, 2002) and Canadian Community Health Survey (Statistics Canada, 2006).  The Alberta Centre for Active Living (formerly the Alberta Centre for Well-Being) has collected data on Albertans for the Alberta Survey on Physical Activity every two years since 1995. The same data collection methods have been used since 2000, allowing for a longitudinal comparison from 2000 to the present.  The Canadian Community Health Survey is a national Statistics Canada survey that includes provincial data. This survey went through its second cycle in 2002/03.
