At its inception in 2003, the Marquette County Active Living Task Force was formed to provide a collaborative forum to collectively improve the health and fitness of Marquette County Residents.

The Task Force focused on creating healthy communities through the development and implementation of local policy and environmental changes targeting the promotion of healthy eating, increased physical activity and tobacco free lifestyles. Membership is voluntary and all organizations listed on the left have participated in one or more efforts to help our County be as healthy as possible. Marquette County adopted a 100% smokefree workplace regulation in that year.
