Michel Lamothe, representative of IVSS Canada, reports about a program for Grade 4&5, open to all children born in Canada, with the purpose to remove the barriers trying skiing/snowboarding and to encourage the enjoyment of outdoor winter recreation. Skiing/snowboarding should be a rite of passage for every child lucky enough to be raised in Canada and this program will help make that happen. The program also helps young people stay physically active during winter months.
