SIRC at the PHE /Ophea Conference
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 - 09:46
The Exhibit Hall at the Ophea/PHE Conference was bustling with activity last week. At the SIRC booth Brandie Adams and Michele Walker were onsite to answer questions. The SIRC Newsletters were a hot commodity. The latest issue was Physical Education and Physical Literacy containing fifteen full text articles. The newsletters change topics every few weeks and are a great way to keep up to date on topics. Previous newsletters have included, volunteering, sport parents, concussion and nutrition. They are great for everyone, especially if you are on the go and want to save time. Signing up for them is easy (and free).
Many other groups came up to talk with us as well so we were able to learn about many great programs that are going on including:
- Environment Canada providing a weather radio to all schools
- Run for Life a free program encouraging youth to be active through running
- KinBall and JumpStart partnering to provide kits for schools to start the sport
- Canadian SADS Foundation providing seminars to raise awareness of Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes
It was a fantastic time and we’re looking forward to blogging more about some of the things we learned.
