We often hear the term, “back to basics” in education. Here is what it should mean:
- play
- sport
- recess
- daily quality physical education
- time to build friendships
- socially connected students prepared to learn
- outdoors!
Happy back to school! @EverActiveAB

Find your sport. Experience the feeling.
Whether you play in a sold-out stadium or in a local community centre, sports have immense physical, mental, and emotional benefits that we all have the right to enjoy.
Today, get moving for #NationalHealthAndFitnessDay!

We have reduced participation fees to $20.00 in the 5km / 10km for all youth under 18. Decreasing financial barriers to participation will provide access and opportunity for more youth to experience belonging and joy of the event.
