Bring Sports & Recreation Opportunities to Your Community!

September 10, 2024
Sports and Recreation

In August 2023 the FNHC launched a Sports and Recreation Pilot Project to bring physical activity opportunities to First Nations throughout Alberta in partnership with communities and supporting organizations.

Currently, the FNHC is working with a number of supportive organizations to bring Hockey, Curling, Soccer and Volleyball to your community!

Communities and Nations are not required to pay any costs to run these activities, the FNHC works with our partners to cover the cost of equipment.

Communities do require a program leader or youth volunteer/mentor to oversee the program in the community, as well as participate in occasional check-ins and a basic activity feedback summary.

Find out more and the steps to sign up on our website here: Sports & Recreation Pilot Project – First Nations Health Consortium (abfnhc.com)

We would like to thank our partners for supporting this work!

Big Dreams, Big Smiles: Zach Whitecloud Makes Special Visit to Treaty 7

A special afternoon at Chief Old Sun Elementary School on Siksika Nation as First Nations Health Consortium proudly partnered with HEROS Hockey and the Calgary Flames to bring Stanley Cup champion and current Flame Zach Whitecloud to visit students and staff.

Weekend of Connection Through Sport

On March 13 & 14th students from three First Nations communities traveled to Calgary to take part in a unique curling experience. Through a floor curling bonspiel at WinSport, they learned the game, competed together, and built new connections all while representing their schools and communities with pride.

Impact Grows When We Collaborate

Healthy Horizons made a generous investment to ensure young people have access to sport and proper equipment. Sport Central continues to steward those resources and place gear directly into the hands of kids who need it most. We helped bridge that connection in the community so everyone involved could be recognized and celebrated.
