Just as kids need to develop their reading and writing literacy, and numeracy, they also need to develop their physical literacy. Physical literacy means developing proficiency in agility, balance, coordination and speed; being able to move comfortably in different environments such as on the ground or in the water; and mastering specific skills such as throwing and catching a ball, riding a bike and skating. This workshop will look at the what, when, how and the why of physical literacy. We will also explore the importance of incorporating physical literacy in all programs that involve physical activity at the 0-12 years of age.
Colin Walker will be presenting at both workshops. The workshop will be offered on two dates:
- Thursday, May 19, 2011 - 10:00AM - 12:00PM EST
- Tuesday, May 24, 2011 - 10:00AM - 12:00PM EST
Hosted by: Physical Activity Resource Centre (PARC) Theme: Public Health in Canada: Innovative Partnerships for Action.
Public health professionals, researchers, policy-makers, academics and students from across the country and around the world will meet in Montreal, Quebec for the CPHA 2011 Annual Conference as the Association enters its second century of service to Canadians. The Conference will explore the role of partnerships in creating the conditions in which people can lead flourishing lives and will showcase innovative collective actions that support the maintenance and improvement of the health of populations. We are interested in how partnerships help us ‘do things differently’, how they ‘bridge divides’ in the broad field of public health, as well as how they are conceived, developed, implemented and sustained.
The forum will feature exciting speakers, interactive workshops and opportunities to network and socialize with people like you who feel energized by working in or with schools. For the Gala Featured Presentation we are pleased to have Joseph Boyden, award-winning Canadian author of Three Day Road and Through Black Spruce June 19-22, 2011 Delta Centre-Ville, 777 University Street, Montreal, Quebec
