Free Workshop May Increase Your Sports Team or Facility Membership!

Reserve Your Free Seat for this Health Unit Workshop!

News Release Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit.

Cost can be a four-letter word for some local families trying to pay for sports and recreation programs for themselves and their children. Breaking down financial barriers so more people can take part in local sports and recreation programs is the purpose of a free workshop being organized in Lindsay. Aimed at sports teams, leagues and recreation providers in the City of Kawartha Lakes, the ‘How to Become An Access-Friendly Organization’ workshop takes place on Tuesday, November 15, from 7 to 9 pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes (107 Lindsay Street South). People who want to register or find out more can call the Health Unit at (705) 324-3569, ext. 207.

“We want to encourage teams and leagues to look at creative ways of making their organized sports and recreation programs more accessible for everyone,” says Lisa Kaldeway, one of the workshop organizers and a Health Promoter with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “User fees, equipment costs and transportation can be barriers that prevent people of all ages from participating in quality recreation programs.”

Almost 40 per cent of Canadian parents agree that the dollar costs of participating in physical activity and sport pose a barrier to their child’s participation, according to a recent Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation report. At the same time, Kaldeway notes, research shows that quality recreation and physical activity are vital to the health and personal development of children and youth.

The access-friendly workshop will provide information on how local sports and recreation providers can make themselves more “access-friendly”. Kaldeway suggests this can be done in a number of ways, such as giving the option of flexible payment schedules for registration, offering multiple child discounts, crediting the time that people spend volunteering, organizing carpools, and fundraising /seeking corporate sponsorship to reduce user fees.

'Providing opportunities for persons with disabilities to take part in programs, is alsoan important consideration,' Kaldeway
adds. “We realize that not every group can afford to offer subsidies or grants to families without jeopardizing their own operations,” Kaldeway adds. “The important thing is for groups to acknowledge there is an access problem and identify ways to reduce barriers to the best of their abilities.”

The access-friendly workshop is being organized by the Health For Life partnership that is working to increase access to recreational opportunities in the City of Kawartha Lakes. Together with the Health Unit, the partnership includes Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kawartha Lakes-Haliburton, Boys and Girls Club of Kawartha Lakes, Community Living Kawartha Lakes, GAMIING Nature Centre, Lindsay Wildcats Basketball Association, City of Kawartha Lakes, and Safe Communities Kawartha Lakes. 

Earlier this year, the group launched the ‘Join in CKL’ website www.joininckl.ca. The site allows users to find listings for free and low-cost physical activity opportunities, subsidies and an online equipment swap

Omemee Athlete Honoured

Tuesday evening, Gary Pearson, from Omemee, received his third AAC Award for academic excellence, while representing Trent University in Rugby. Although 62 Trent Students were honoured for balancing the sport they love with their studies at Trent; only a handful have maintained this balance of studies, and sports participation for more than two years.

Tuesday evening, 60 people attended Trent's Academic All-Canadian Awards ceremony at the university's new athletics complex. The Academic All-Canadian Awards are handed out annually to honour students who earn 80-plus average marks while representing the school in varsity-level competition.

Pearson, working on his masters degree in Psychology, has been able to maintain a high level of academic achievement while representing Trent University on the Rugby team, and juggling family life as well. (One of his greatest challenges is trying to get overenthusiastic fans to stop buzzing his front lawn on their ATV’s while his kids are trying to take afternoon naps.)

"We're proud of them," Bill Byrick, the school's athletics director, told The Examiner before the ceremony, "because it's bloody hard what they do. They're training or working out three, four hours a day, and balancing that with a full academic workload. Many of them have jobs on the side. It's hard work."

Byrick said the number students receiving the Academic All-Canadian Award at Trent is higher than the average for other schools in Canada.

"About 20% of our student athletes are A students," Byrick said.

This says a lot for Trent, he added.

"We have some students who have won this award two, three years in a row," he added.

"That's indicative of the kind of students we have here."
