Ever Active

What an incredible few days in the Yukon! 💚

Our team was proud to support Yukon School Sports for two days of track and field before wrapping up the week with our very own Fun Run for elementary students.

Over the course of three days, nearly 1,300 students joined in the fun! Running, cheering each other on, trying their best, and enjoying the beautiful Yukon weather.

Thank you to everyone who helped make these events such a success, and a special thank you to Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities for supporting opportunities that help young people build confidence, stay active, and create lasting memories.

We can’t wait to be back!

🎙️ Need a little infusion of hope?

Our newest Podclass episode features Dr. Kate Storey, who shares how we can LINK together people, organizations, and communities to create healthier schools across Canada.

As Dr. Storey reminds us, when we work together to amplify individual actions and drive system-level change, we can create healthier futures for all youth.

Update: Due to unforeseen weather circumstances and considering school division procedures, the school has decided to cancel the School Street activities scheduled for Tuesday, June 2, from 7:30–8:30 AM and 2:30–3:30 PM. At this time, we are still hopeful conditions will improve for School Streets on June 4, 2026.

It's School Streets Week!

We're so excited to kick off our first School Streets initiative at St. Leo Catholic Elementary School in Edmonton this week. Friendly reminder that School Streets is a National Active School Streets Initiative (NASSI) that uses a temporary road closure in front of the school to create a safer, more welcoming space for students and families while reducing traffic congestion.⁠

Thanks to Green Communities Canada and Centre d'écologie urbaine for their delivery and partnership in this project!
