In this month’s edition of Community Spotlight, Sport Edmonton is excited to shine a light on @stepup_yeg !

A youth-led organization based in Edmonton dedicated to combating racial injustices locally and globally through education, engagement, and empowerment.

The organization's mission is to address racial injustices by educating the community on topics often underrepresented in traditional educational settings, such as BIPOC history, activism, and anti-racism. They aim to create an inclusive space that brings together diverse perspectives, fostering unity and understanding. Their vision is an anti-racist society where every voice is empowered, and unity dismantles the walls of discrimination.

Amongst the many projects on the go, the organization hosted and developed the launch of the POC para-athlete Digital Museum. This is a great example of taking action to showcase more representation, especially how sports can be used to share the stories and experiences from diverse backgrounds.

Take a look at the short video with Abi and Rovena, StepUp’s co-founders and leaders taking charge in the community!

Fresh Nets Hockey Edition Wraps Up Successful Seas

Fresh Nets Hockey Edition Wraps Up Successful Season!

We're thrilled to announce the completion of this year's Fresh Nets Hockey Edition program! 🏒🥅

After months of dedicated work, Sport Edmonton and its partners have successfully replaced 100 hockey nets at outdoor rinks across Edmonton Community Leagues. These new nets will ensure that players of all ages can enjoy quality hockey experiences at neighborhood rinks throughout our city.

The impact of this initiative extends beyond just equipment replacement. By investing in our community rinks, we're helping to:
🏒 Increase accessibility to quality hockey facilities
🏒 Support grassroots player development
🏒 Strengthen our community gathering spaces
🏒 Promote active, healthy lifestyles for Edmontonians

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support from our community partners, volunteers, and the passionate community leagues who maintain these vital recreation spaces - thank you for all that you do!👏

As we close this season, we're already looking forward to future initiatives with the Fresh Nets program that will continue to enhance sport and recreation spaces across our city! Check out the full video on our youtube!

We are excited to announce that Sport Edmonton has enhanced its partnership with @girlsinsportsca to support ALL of their Girls Multi Sport Camps.

Sport Edmonton has been working with the GIS team to make sure these camps not only go over the needed skill sets needed for specific sports but also make the environment a fun , encouraging place for all levels of athletes.

Girls In Sport Canada’s programming gives girls an inspiring and confidence-building multi-sport experience that not only introduces them to a range of sports, fostering the development of diverse sport-specific skills, but also instills confidence, competence and motivation through our Power Up! Program. We introduce girls to many different sports such as ultimate frisbee, soccer, basketball, flag rugby, volleyball, flag football and much more. Each of these sports are taught by experienced coaches that strive to create a safe girl-friendly environment. We integrate confidence building activities during the day, crafts and group games to make sure they leave enjoying every moment.

Our first camp kicks off on March 22 and there are limited spots available! The camp will be held at A Blair McPherson School and run from 9:30am - 3:00pm. To sign up, visit girlsinsports.ca/camps

By supporting these multi-sport camps, Sport Edmonton aims to remove any barriers and encourage girls to explore diverse athletic opportunities, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills through sports participation.
