The Desire is There
“Many of our participants discussed their strong desire, and that of other Indigenous youth who come from underserved communities, to engage in sports, such as hockey and volleyball, but could not afford the cost of enrollment or the necessary equipment.”
The Proof Exists
“I think just keeping me out of trouble... out of being curious with drugs and alcohol at a young age... like how everyone else was...and as well healing, you know we go through each of our own traumatic experiences, and I think that released a lot of things I didn’t know how to release.. that just empowered me and raised my confidence in school and sports.”
The Need is Real
“Some of the youth faced much more difficult financial hurdles due, in part, to their families’ low incomes. Even with those who did have the opportunity to join a sport or activity programme, the ongoing costs of participating throughout the season had the potential effect of forcing them to quit.”
