Amazing new #yeg playground at Sir Wilfred Laurier Park by the #yegzoo. Healthy active spaces to play contribute to a #healthycity. Well done. ⁦@_TimCartmell⁩ ⁦@doniveson⁩ @MichaelWalters⁩ ⁦@doniveson⁩ ⁦@AndrewKnack⁩ ⁦@bevesslinger⁩ #liveactiveyeg

@briantorrance Wow. Amazing achievement

What kids need is a good learning experience and support.

[Ever Active Schools @EverActiveAB]

Return to School conversations need to focus on:
1. The outdoor learning is the safest environment
2. Active travel will be safer than bus travel (when possible)
3. The subject of health and physical education will be essential for student social emotional wellbeing #abed

[Brian Torrance @briantorrance]

Yes!
Education, sustainable development, peace, cooperation, solidarity, fairness, and social inclusion will all benefit from investments in sport, physical activity and overall wellbeing. https://t.co/iIai7X2uNT @YEGSportCouncil @AlbertaCulture @SportCanada_EN #liveactiveyeg

I am not completely sure but I think he got his start with the @AMAYouthRunClub.

@briantorrance @1_StephenNorris @AlbertaSport_ @EverActiveAB @YEGSportCouncil We are in a system distracted by podiums and have less prioritized creating a chance for all. Great to see the conversation change to the true issues of the barriers to sport and physical activity opportunities. @EverActiveAB @CTJumpstart @LeelaAheer @SportCanada_EN

[Brian Torrance @briantorrance]

Let’s be clear on the issue. 1 in 6 Alberta children live in poverty. Families living in poverty have financial, cultural, transportation and other barriers to sport. System changes are needed. https://t.co/HPiGgZJI2F @1_StephenNorris @AlbertaSport_ @EverActiveAB @YEGSportCouncil

[Joyce Deacon @joyedeacon]

Great idea!

[Brian Torrance @briantorrance]

Free bike!!!! to the Canadian province or territory that puts this into curriculum. If we want children to actively transport to school, we need to teach it. https://t.co/Z8DQFrnd3y @PHECanada @opheacanada @DASHBC @EverActiveAB #abed

[Joyce Deacon @joyedeacon]
