Mountain Lake Active Living Committee survey will prioritize projects to keep local residents moving
Take care of you body. It’s the only one you have.
Do this by remaning physically active.
The Mountain Lake Active Living Committee has been pro-active in finding ways for citizens to keep active, as well as planning for more physical activities for folks to do.
Currently, according to Amber Hughes, Community Wellness Partners Active Living, Workplace Wellness and Diabetes Prevention Lead for Des Moines Valley Health & Human Services – and member of the Mountain Lake Active Living Committee – the group is conducting an online community survey. Their end goal is to gauge community needs and interests in order to update the city’s current Active Living Plan to prioritize projects that are important to residents.
