The March 21 Campaign was initiated to heighten awareness of the harmful effects of racism on a national scale and to clearly demonstrate the commitment and leadership of the Government of Canada to foster respect, equity and diversity.


MCoS coordinates and supports campaigns and activities in Saskatchewan communities and schools with contributions from many partners to recognize March 21 and use it as a springboard for the year-long work to recognize and reject racism.

Forever...in motion Leader Virtual Training


Forever...in motion is an initiative that helps older adults become physically active through volunteer led physical activity groups.


Forever…in motion was developed by the Saskatchewan Health Authority and provincially implemented by the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association. 


If you are an older adult and believe in the benefits of physical activity, are active and enjoy helping others, volunteer as a Leader! We can help you enhance and develop your skills in leading a physical activity class for your peers.
