Plain language summary
For health benefits, Canadians need to: move when it suits them; remove screens from bedrooms and limit screen use prior to bedtime; and adjust bedtime so that they can sleep the recommended amount. The 24-Hour Movement Guidelines Communication Toolkit has resources that can be used across settings to help Canadians optimize movement behaviours throughout the day.
