COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE

Connecting people, ideas, and sectors to grow physical literacy across the North.

Our Community of Practice brings people together to learn, share, and collaborate, so more individuals and communities can move with confidence and purpose.

Why a Community of Practice?

Physical literacy doesn’t live in just one place. It shows up in schools, recreation centres, health programs, justice initiatives, and everyday life.

By bringing sectors together, we foster a shared understanding, strengthen relationships, and achieve better outcomes for communities across the Northwest Territories.

What We Do Together

We meet monthly to share stories, challenges, successes, and ideas. These sessions are a space for listening, learning, and growing.

Each gathering encourages:

Open conversation

Shared learning

Collaboration across sectors

Practical insights you can use in your work

Our Shared Goals
