I keep seeing money and resources going into promoting accessibility to sport in this country. If we truly believe in the idea of sport for all…we need to start running our national programs through our public school systems.

I realize that’s a huge change.

But there are massive sponsorship dollars out there that could fund the change. And moreover…I think we would get so many more kids playing sports that they might not otherwise see or (a couple sports specifically) be able to afford.

In less than a decade...I also think we would see massive growth in the quality of athletes graduating to those national programs as well.*

*Just my two cents - been thinking about this for too long...haha

A critical read on the importance of sport, PA, recreation & wellbeing.

“…school athletes only make the school teams if their families can afford to send them to high-intensity summer camps. The students who need to work get left behind”

It’s time AB got in the wellness game

[Lauren Sulz @Lauren_Sulz]

Worth the read. “The provincial government invests the same amount for SPAR today as it did in 1988”
#AbElections2023

Those who need SPAR the most are often the ones left behind.

It’s time Alberta got in the wellness game. https://t.co/n62GzqzJ0r
