National Volunteer Week is April 18-24! What a great opportunity to reach out and thank the volunteers who power Saskatchewan's Sport, Culture and Recreation within your community.
Even in a year when organized activities were reduced, there was no shortage of volunteers ready and willing to do whatever they could, wherever they could.
Thank you! |
Celebrate World Leisure Day - Tomorrow!
Did you know that the first ever World Leisure Day is being celebrated April 16th?
This newest international initiative "aims to reinforce leisure as a social right and its importance in daily life, as well as to expand its possibilities of manifestation and promote reflection on the access and barriers that still exist for many people around the world."
This year's theme is Leisure for a Better Life - and more details on the celebration can be found here.

The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association's new online community is here - a place for the sector to meet, work and grow together.
The Bench includes discussion groups, a resource library and events page. You can join discussion groups on topics including reopening, parks and open spaces and inclusion and accessibility, among others. Members can post and subscribe to discussions to receive updates when new information is posted. |
To welcome the warm temperatures and encourage us all to get outside, we've created the Spring/Summer '21 editions of LDSCR's Activity Kits.
If your community is interested in having one or more of these kits, please fill out the Expression of Interest Form. Our Youth Consultant, Julia, will follow up with respondents as soon as possible. Feel free to contact her directly if you have any additional questions.

PHCD & Play Leadership Training
While there are still some uncertainties related to summer programs and what they will look like in our communities, we also recognize that Lakeland District communities and organizations may already be starting to think of training opportunities for summer staff. LDSCR staff is currently working on determining how we will be facilitating (in person, hybrid or virtually) PHCD and Play Leadership training opportunities to our communities in the upcoming months.
What is it? PHCD training teaches front-line leaders (age 15+) how to enhance the quality of the programs they are delivering. It provides in-depth knowledge of the Principles of Healthy Child Development so front-line leaders understand what they need to do to ensure each child's social, emotional and cognitive needs are met. Play Leadership training ensures that leaders have the knowledge and skills necessary to plan and coordinate safe, accessible and enjoyable play opportunities for children.
For more info contact Julia and watch for details in next month's newsletter!
