If we've learned anything from this pandemic it's that having a plan matters.
We need a clear & practical plan for community sports & recreation activities to resume this summer, once it's safe to do so. It's critical for our physical & mental health.
Let's start the work now

#Budget2019 A 25% increase to the Sport Support Program will allow NSOs, MSOs, and CSIs to hire the right people, develop the right programs, and build the policies we need to keep kids active and make sure Canadians are able to access the benefits of values-based sport.

I LOVE what I do.
But THIS is WHY I love what I do.
I'm so lucky that Jonah & the Gore family let me tell his story, The Courage To Watch this #HockeyDay
...tonight & tomorrow AM @Sportsnet Central we're celebrating a little early!
@DetroitRedWings @kulture @Dylanlarkin39
8-year-old Jonah loves hockey but, until recently, watching an @NHL game live was out of the question.
@SNCarlyAgro has the story of how the @DetroitRedWings helped make Jonah’s dream come true by making their games more accessible for all.

Physical literacy is just as important as the ability to read and write.
The most important step toward developing physical literacy is learning fundamental movement skills.
If you can learn the fundamentals skills, you will enjoy a wide variety of activities!
