The council has an information stand to present the wide range of municipal sports activities, resources, and programs available to citizens to promote sports practice and healthy lifestyles. The space will provide information on directed sports activities promoted by the IMD, as well as initiatives like Parques Activos (Active Parks), which encourages physical exercise in public spaces.
The mayor, Carolina Darias, alongside other authorities including the Canary Islands Government's Sports Counselor, Poli Suárez, the President of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales, the Councilor for Sports, Carla Campoamor, and the Cabildo's Sports Counselor, Aridany Romero, highlighted the institutional commitment to promoting sports and the City Council's work in fostering grassroots sports, planning facilities, and supporting clubs and athletes.
Darias emphasized that sport goes beyond physical activity, serving as a fundamental tool for improving health, promoting inclusion, and transmitting educational values, reaffirming Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's commitment as a city that supports both grassroots and elite sports.
The IMD stand will offer information on the municipal support lines aimed at strengthening the local sports sector, with a particular focus on clubs and entities, which are crucial for grassroots sports and participation across all neighborhoods.
Participation in the fair provides an opportunity to showcase the work of the IMD and present the range of sports services, programs, and initiatives offered by Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, catering to both regular sports practitioners and those wishing to start a new discipline.
