PHE Canada invites those interested in becoming Certified Game Changers Program Facilitators to join us for an upcoming Train-the-Trainer session.

Game Changers is a student-centered design program for students of all abilities. In the program, students co-create a school-based physical activity program tailored to their interests. This program works to reduce and eliminate barriers to physical activity participation at school. Game Changers takes a whole-school-community approach that is rooted in inclusion and supports the development of student leadership skills.
