Web Site launched Nishnawbe Aski Nation is pleased to anounce the launch of the new NAN Recreation Website. We are very excited to finally have a recreation website availiable to our communities in the north. The main goal of this website is to reach as many of the youth in the north and get them involved in sport and recreation. Our Youth need activities to participate in and need to get more active to live a healthier lifestyle. There are many very talented athletes that can be found in the north but unforunetely they do not get noticed because of the area in which they live. This website plans to try and help the athletes who want to move forward and try and excel at a certain sport. We hope to provide athletes with the tools necessary to follow their dreams and compete at the sport they wish. NAN hopes to let all the youth realize that there are many benefits to sport and recreation and that the possibilities are endless. Being on a team or playing activities with friends can be very enjoyable and relaxing. The website is going to contain many great ideas on how the can get more involved with sport and fitness. There will be weight and fitness programs availiable to download and copy from this site. Weight training and fitness training can really help an athlete in the sport they are playing. The youth that do not participate in sporting activities can also use these programs to stay fit and become stronger for everyday life. The programs that will be put on the site will be with equipment and without for the youth that cannot access weight equipment. Healthy eating is another very important part of living. If we eat well and stay away from the harmful things like smoking, drugs and alcohol we can live a longer life will less complications. It is important that we give the youth the tools to know what is good and bad, then they can make their own choices on how they live. There is also going to be a place with contact information for different sports team across Canada and the United States. NAN hopes to open some doors for the athletes that want to persue school with athletics and also who want to compete at a higher level. Nishnawbe Aski Nation believes in the talent that the youth have in the north and it is important for them to finally get some exposure. This website promises to have many useful tools for the youth, coaches and community recreation coordinators. There are going to be so many great resources that will be availible daily for your use. The site should be fully up and running in the next couple of weeks. Feel free to explore the site as it is being worked on. |
