Active
and Free: Young women, physical activity and tobacco
In an effort to promote physical activity as a viable alternative
to smoking, in 1994, CAAWS introduced the resource Evening the Odds:
Tobacco, physical activity, and adolescent women. This resource provided
parents, coaches, and teachers with timely and tailored information
to assist them as they guided young women through adolescence and
helped them embrace a healthy lifestyle. Mindful of the alarming rate
of physical inactivity in young women, who are the fastest growing
segment of the population taking up tobacco, CAAWS revised this worthwhile
resource and modernized it for today’s physical activity leaders.

75th Anniversary
The Canadian Physical Education Association (CPEA) was founded in

became incorporated to better serve the needs of its growing membership,
and changed its name to the Canadian Association for Health, Physical
Education and Recreation (CAHPER). In 1994, to recognize the value
and uniqueness of dance education, the name was modified to the
Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation
and Dance (CAHPERD).
