This year’s Vancouver Island Healthy Living Leader Training Session will be hosted in Nanaimo. These sessions are available to anyone working within Indigenous communities who wants to deliver an Indigenous RunWalkWheel or Honour Your Health Challenge program. At the conclusion of training, all participants are eligible for up to $1000 in grant support for their Indigenous RunWalkWheel or Honour Your Health Challenge program.
- Choose from an 8-week program preparing participants for a 5K RunWalkWheel event or a 13-week program preparing participants for a 10K RunWalkWheel event.
- Develop your own 8-week program focused on physical activity, healthy eating, respecting tobacco or healthy communities – past programs include creating a community cookbook, “Family Fitness Fridays,” planting medicinal tea gardens, “Kick the Nic” tobacco program, “Moccasin Mamas,” and many more.
If you’re brand new to leader training, welcome to our Healthy Living family! For new leaders, the first day of training is mandatory, offering sessions in program development, the holistic wellness model and active breaks. On the second day, we’ll be offering sessions covering a wide range of topics including mental wellness, nutrition and traditional medicine to name a few! Stay tuned for the full agenda.
For return leaders, please join us after lunch on day 1 to receive brand new content for your Healthy Living program and to reconnect with your Healthy Living family.
