Active Living and Fitness Leadership 20 and 30 Courses

In the fall of 2008, Saskatoon Public School Division partnered with the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) to create and implement a locally developed option. The initial vision of the class was to educate and promote active living for a lifetime by allowing students to learn more about their own health and wellness. Secondly, a goal was to explore and experience the fitness industry in the community. Thirdly, by partnering with SPRA, students had opportunity to initiate the certification process as a Fitness Leader within the community and earn entry positions within the fitness industry in the Province.

Across the country, innovative programs are being developed and implemented to better meet the interests and needs of our youth in the area of physical education, health promotion and active living. In many provinces, education, health and recreation are working together to create opportunities for youth to learn and explore their own fitness interests, within a practical program, that feeds directly into a variety of career opportunities in the fitness, health and wellness industry.
