As we embark on our journey toward increased physical activity, itSA国际影视传媒檚 important to acknowledge that there will be ups and downs along the way. I often feel the tiredness creeping in, and motivation can sometimes wane.
Life has a way of getting in the way, and thatSA国际影视传媒檚 perfectly okay. What truly matters are those moments that stand out: the satisfaction of finishing that walk to school or the sense of accomplishment after contributing 45 minutes of walking to your Walk to Tuk team. Remember - you are doing great, and the smallest step counts.
There are a few key principles that I believe are essential in this journey. You may already be familiar with the idea of providing opportunities and possibilities for our youth to become the best version of themselves. This is a vital aspect of our mission. But letSA国际影视传媒檚 take it a step further - letSA国际影视传媒檚 come together to make the world a better place.
Let's start a new adventure in March: a community of practice on physical literacy in the Northwest Territories. You might be wondering what exactly a community of practice is. In my words, itSA国际影视传媒檚 about bringing people together to share and learn from one another. We will explore various topics, invite guest speakers, and create opportunities for everyone to share their experiences.
The goal of this community is to unite different sectors across the NWT, allowing us to share the activities we are already engaged in and, hopefully in the future, collaborate on new initiatives. By working together, we can enhance our collective efforts and create a more vibrant community focused on physical literacy.
There are so many amazing things happening in our communities and we want to hear from you. We want to learn from you. With that in mind, we can build capacity, empower those on the ground and, as the wish stands, make the world a better place to be. From wrestling in Ulukhaktok to fat-biking in Yellowknife on Tin Can Hill, table tennis in Fort Providence, hockey in Deline, and the Walk to Tuk initiative all over the territory, as well as the National Ballet School in the South Slave, there are so many incredible programs that we can all learn from.
Each of these activities showcases the creativity and passion within our communities and by sharing our experiences, we can inspire one another to continue fostering physical literacy.
What do we hope to achieve through this community of practice? We aim to bring sectors together, fostering an environment where more people feel comfortable in their motivation, confidence, physical competence, and knowledge. Remember? Yes, this is the essence of physical literacy.
