Communities ChooseWell’s FREE eCourses provides resources, examples, and tools to help champions successfully make healthy changes to their recreation facility food environment. To help further your learning, Communities ChooseWell created two eModules based in Indigenous ways within the context of Alberta. Check them out below!
This module builds off of the foundation of the previous EDI in Recreation Settings modules, focusing on Indigenous Peoples in recreation and sport. In Indigenous contexts, recreation and sport are holistic. It encompasses land-based practices, traditional games, ceremonies, and community gatherings, all of which support physical, emotional, spiritual, and cultural wellbeing.
The Indigenous Peoples in Recreation and Sports Settings module was developed by the Alberta Recreation & Parks Association’s Communities ChooseWell program in partnership with Indigenous Sports Council of Alberta.
This module provides an introductory look into Indigenous Food Sovereignty within Alberta. Learn from Elders and Indigenous communities across the province why Indigenous Food Sovereignty is important, how communities are practicing it, and what role you can play in supporting Food Sovereignty.
This module provides an introductory look into Indigenous Traditional Food Systems within Alberta. Learn from Elders and Indigenous communities across the province why returning to a Traditional Food System is important, how communities are returning to it and what role you can play in supporting Traditional Food Systems.
The Alberta Recreation & Parks Association would like to acknowledge the First Nations, the Métis, the Inuit and all of the people across Alberta who share a history and a deep connection with this land. We dedicate ourselves to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
