Soccer club receives award

The Puslinch Minor Soccer Club has been awarded Wellington-Differin-Guelph Public Health’s Tobacco-Free Award.

The award goes to organizations committed to tobacco-free Sports and recreation.

“We have always strived for a tobacco-free environment, our club encourages healthy habits including plenty of exercise, good eating habits and no smoking,” said Bruce Joy, president of the Puslinch soccer club. “I think it is important to lead by example and show our children that a healthy lifestyle can be a lot of fun and is relatively easy to do.”

All club sponsors must adhere to tobacco-free policies.  

The Puslinch Minor Soccer Club is a non-profit community organization for boys and girls aged 5 to 18. Practices begin the last week of May. Registration is still open but limited. Visit puslinchsoccer.ca for information.
