About this trial
Hamilton is a city with a growing newcomer population. Families who are new to Canada do not always have the same resources to access healthy active living (HAL) activities as compared to Canadian-born families. The SCORE! ACTIVE trial will recruit newcomer families with young children in Hamilton and help provide them with access to HAL activities. Through this, the investigators want to see if newcomer children's perspectives of physical activity will change over time. They will also see if increasing newcomer children's access to these resources will promote an increase in HAL behaviours.
