The Indigenous Communities: Active for Life resource and accompanying full-day workshop were created with guidance from Indigenous leaders throughout the country, with the purpose of inspiring community leaders looking for culturally tailored resources that act as a vehicle toward individual and community holistic development.
The resource and workshop supports these individual champions as they embark on a journey to develop sustainable quality sport and physical activity programs, build collaborative relationships, and re-engage their community members into active and healthy lifestyles.
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have:
Ideas on how to create quality experiences in their sport, physical activity, and recreation programs
An understanding of physical literacy, which is the development of movement skills, confidence, and motivation to be active for life
Tools, resources, and action plans to further support their delivery of quality sport and physical activity programs in their community
Ideas to support their participants’ physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural needs
A certificate of workshop completion and 3 National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Professional Development (PD) points (if applicable)
