NCCIH Webinar - Taking Stock of the Calls to Action on Sport and Reconciliation for First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples

The National Collaborating Centre for Indigenous Health (NCCIH) is undertaking a two-year Champion of Partnerships project as part of the Government of Canada’s Common Vision for Increasing Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Living in Canada: Let’s Get Moving. The role of the NCCIH in this initiative is to help promote physical activity, recreation, and sport opportunities for First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, families and communities across Canada. This webinar is part of this overall initiative.
In December 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released their final report and 96 Calls to Action, including those related to sport and reconciliation (Calls to Action 87-90). The presenters in this webinar, Dr. Janice Forsyth, Ms. Caralynn Nault, and Ms. Kukik Baker will explore the importance of putting into motion these Calls to Action, recognizing the important role that physical activity, sports, and practices, in their many forms, play in the mental, emotional and cultural well-being of First Nations, Inuit and Métis youth, families and communities.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand what safe spaces and practices for physical activity, sport and recreation encompass for Indigenous Peoples generally, and for youth, women and Two-Spirit people specifically;
  • Explore community-driven, culturally-grounded, and distinctions-based opportunities for on-the-land physical activities for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people and the benefits these provide for mental health and healing; and
  • Discuss what has been done on the TRC’s Calls to Actions around sport and reconciliation and needs to be done moving forward on these.
