 Be Good People:  

 Get Moving! 60 Minutes Every Day 

Children need about 60 minutes of physical activity each day for a healthy body and mind. Did you know that this 60 minutes doesn’t have to happen all at once? Every bit of movement throughout the day counts!  

• Walk or bike to school or the park. 

• Play outside—run, climb, play tag, or kick a ball. 

• Dance to your favourite music. 

• Take short movement breaks from screens or homework. 

• Go for a family walk or play a game together. 

 DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS: 

 New Surrey Food Bank Program  

The district is moving to a new partnership with the Surrey Food Bank to provide food security supports to North Delta students and families. This replaces the community support previously provided through the North Delta Rotary Club’s Starfish Backpack Program.  

Through a coordinated effort, families will be able to pick up food essentials, including perishables, fresh produce and pantry staples, on a bi-weekly basis from one of two Surrey Food Bank depots in North Delta:  

Northside Community Church, 11300 84 Avenue, Delta. Food can be picked up every other Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Available for all residents of North Delta. 

• Delview Secondary Depot, 9111 116 Street, Delta. Food can be picked up every other Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Available starting Wednesday, October 14 for Delta School District families only.   

To access this program and select your pickup location, families who are not currently clients of the foodbank will need to complete a one-time registration by appointment only. Please contact the Surrey Food Bank at 604 581 5443 or email registration@surreyfoodbank.org to schedule your registration appointment. If you are a current foodbank client, simply pick up your hamper at one of the locations and confirm your depot of choice.
