The Canada Fitness Award Program was a national fitness test and evaluation program operated by the Government of Canada department Health and Welfare Canada from 1970 to 1992. It was a successor to the Centennial Athletic Awards Program, and was replaced by the Active Living Challenge program. Millions of primary and secondary school children participated in the program. It was discontinued in part because it discouraged those it was intended to motivate. ==Establishment== The program was developed by Sport and Recreation Canada, a division of Health and Welfare Canada. It was established as a national fitness program by the Government of Canada, and began operating in September 1970. An official program launch ceremony was held in Lansdowne Park in Ottawa on 21 October 1970. The program had several objectives: *to promote health and fitness in Canadian youth *to encourage youth to achieve higher levels of fitness *to provide an "opportunity to participate in a continuing award plan" *to recognize physical fitness achievements *to increase public awareness of sports and recreation It was intended to "create better attitudes towards personal fitness" and to build skills and aptitudes useful "beyond the formative years".
