We are giving away 3 class sets of running shoes to 3 deserving classes that have students in need of a new pair of sneakers! Must be a member of the @everactiveab Youth Run Club.https://t.co/ZXhI9yRJXr

We often hear the term, “back to basics” in education. Here is what it should mean:
- play
- sport
- recess
- daily quality physical education
- time to build friendships
- socially connected students prepared to learn
- outdoors!
Happy back to school! @EverActiveAB

Find your sport. Experience the feeling.

Whether you play in a sold-out stadium or in a local community centre, sports have immense physical, mental, and emotional benefits that we all have the right to enjoy.

This decade will go down in history in Canada as monumental for women’s sport. Kids born in 2026 will never know a 🇨🇦 without pro women’s hockey, basketball, soccer… Sport culture is about to change in a big way & I am here for that! #ItsTime

[Ever Active Schools @EverActiveAB]

#WheelWeek is almost upon us and is the perfect opportunity to give kids the chance to try! 🚴

We have reduced participation fees to $20.00 in the 5km / 10km for all youth under 18. Decreasing financial barriers to participation will provide access and opportunity for more youth to experience belonging and joy of the event.
