Department of Wellness, Culture and Sport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Department of Wellness, Culture and Sport is a part of the provincial government of New Brunswick, Canada. It is charged with the promotion of "wellness" through healthy living and physical activity and with administration of government programs for community arts development, heritage, and sport and recreation.
The department was established on February 14, 2006 when Premier Bernard Lord restructured government. It combined the Wellness Branch of the former Department of Health and Wellness with the standalone Culture and Sport Secretariat.
