The Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Council (I·SPARC) is excited to announce the 2024 Regional Healthy Living Leader Training sessions will be open for registration Monday August 19 2024! These sessions are complimentary for those working within Indigenous communities who want to deliver an Honour Your Health Challenge or Indigenous RunWalkWheel program.
Eligibility:
Healthy Living Leader Training is open to individuals who are interested in promoting health and wellness within their community, schools, Friendship Centres, Métis Chartered Communities, recreation centres, health centres, workplaces, or Indigenous organizations.
After completing training, all participants are eligible to apply for up to $1000 in grant support of their Indigenous RunWalkWheel or Honour Your Health Challenge program.
As part of I·SPARC’s Healthy Living Activities, our Leader Training Sessions offer two days of workshops; providing participants with the tools and resources to deliver their own Healthy Living programs in their communities. Participants have the option of training in either the Indigenous RunWalkWheel or the Honour Your Health Challenge:
- Indigenous RunWalkWheel: lead your participants in an 8 – 13 week training program, preparing for a 5 or 10 km run/walk/wheel event.
- Honour Your Health Challenge: develop your own program focused on physical activity, healthy eating, respecting tobacco or healthy families – past programs include creating a community cookbook, “Family Fitness Fridays,” planting medicinal tea gardens, “Kick the Nic” tobacco program, “Moccasin Mamas,” and many more.
“This was the most powerful workshops and training l have ever attended. Thanks for such a wonderful program. I can’t wait to be back next year.” – Healthy Living Leader 2024
