Introduction
The Ministry of Sport and Active Living is dedicated to promoting general fitness in our communities. With a large focus on youth, we aim to establish a model that encourages lifelong participation in healthy lifestyles, fostering habits that contribute to the overall wellbeing of Métis Citizens. We are committed to integrating cultural and traditional ways of being into sport and active living lifestyles. We emphasize the rich heritage of the Métis people and implement programs that increase the overall wellbeing of Métis communities.
We accomplish this through providing accessible sporting opportunities, fostering athletic excellence, and instilling a sense of pride in our Métis athletes. Strategic collaborations and innovative programs, support our efforts to build a strong, united community in which every Citizen can thrive, excel in sports, and celebrate our rich cultural heritage on the playing field.
