Success Stories

Sharing the success stories of how PHE Canada’s vision is being implemented by the individuals and communities that we partner with is very important. The story in the video below shares the results of a pilot program that PHE Canada was involved with that advocated for the healthy development of children and youth and promoted quality physical education experiences for all.

Supporting School Effectiveness in First Nations Communities

In partnership with Growing Young Movers Inc. and the Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC), PHE Canada embarked on an initiative to support and advance physical education in on reserve schools. PHE Canada worked with 28 physical educators of the PAGC communities and the Move Think Learn resource series to improve school effectiveness to better meet the needs of the children and youth.

The pilot program delivered the following benefits to participants:

Enhanced physical education programming in school and after-school environments
Increased knowledge, understanding, and capacity of teachers and program leaders in developing and delivering quality physical education programming
Provided financial resources to support physical education program delivery
Engaged physically active children and youth

Overall, 23 schools and close to 7,000 students of the Prince Albert Grand Council were reached with the implementation of this pilot project.

We hope this pilot program inspires others to implement similar initiatives in their communities!

“What works in one community may not necessarily work somewhere else. And it's really important that each community take what we're providing and use that in a way that is supportive and works in their own community.”
