PLAY Parkland Project
Bringing Active Alberta to life, PLAY Parkland is a community active living prototype that will result in Albertans who are more active, more often. Working within Parkland schools, a key component of PLAY Parkland is providing teachers with quality physical literacy and physical education coaching, resources and sustainability. Lead teachers and their classes will participate in an out-of-school residency at the TransAlta Tri-Leisure Centre where they will experience physical literacy in alternative environments. Each class will also experience physical literacy in an outdoor setting at YWCA YoWoChAs Outdoor Education Centre. Ultimately, this project will embed physical literacy into teaching and learning, impact the entire school culture and will be impact the broader community in a positive way. Lessons from this work are shared at a Physical Literacy Summit, held in Calgary in early March. Find out more.
