The Indigenous Communities: Active for Life resource and accompanying full-day workshop were created through a national process involving Indigenous sport and physical activity leaders throughout Canada, with the purpose of establishing culturally tailored resources that inspires community leaders to deliver programs that promote the holistic development of their participants.
The resource and workshop support community leaders in the development of sustainable, quality sport and physical activity programs that build collaborative relationships and re-engage their community members in active and healthy lifestyles.
Upon completion of the workshops, participants will have:
• Tools, resources, and action plans to support the design and delivery of quality sport and physical activity programs in their community
• An understanding of physical literacy, which is the development of movement skills, confidence, and motivation to be active for life
• Ideas to support their participants’ physical, mental/emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs
• A certificate of workshop completion and 3 National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Professional Development (PD) points (if applicable)
Registration is open to coaches, community leaders (aged 16+) who work with or support Indigenous youth in sport and physical activity recreation programs! Please feel free to invite and share the information.
