SUMMARY:Best Practices for Disability Inclusion in Recreation
DESCRIPTION:People living with disabilities are less likely to meet physical activity guidelines than people without disabilities. Yet even low levels of physical activity have significant positive health effects. \nMoreover\, best practices are not readily available for municipalities across Canada to refer to when developing non-structured and structured physical activity and recreation opportunities for persons with disabilities and their caregivers. \nTherefore\, the Active Living Alliance for Canadians with Disability and the Canadian Disability Participation Project 2.0 consulted with municipal leaders\, persons with disabilities\, caregivers\, researchers\, and reviewed academic and grey literature to identify and develop eight best practice areas. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the best practices and ‘how-to’ strategies. Linkages to the Municipal Guide to Promising and Best Practices for Disability Inclusion in Recreation and Physical Activity will be provided. \nFacilitated by Taryn Barry\, PH.D.\, Project Manager for the Active Living Alliance for Canadian with Disability. Taryn has worked for different sport organizations in Canada and internationally\, including Hockey Canada and the International University Sports Federation. \nIn partnership with South East Sport\, Culture and Recreation District\, Best Practices for Disability Inclusion in Recreation takes place January 14 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm over Zoom. Please pre-register for this free learning opportunity here.  \nQuestions can be directed to Community Consultant Wendy McLeod.

SUMMARY:Language and Approach: Respectable Approaches to Including People with Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Including people of all backgrounds and abilities is important for creating inclusive and caring communities. \nCanadians with disabilities often face barriers to inclusion within society\, including employment\, financial security and social inclusion.

Some of your greatest resources in your community may remain untapped because they weren’t asked. \nFacilitated by Jenelle Fortier\, Employment & Transitions facilitator for Inclusion Saskatchewan in Regina and Area\, where in her role\, she is committed to ensuring people with disabilities have the necessary resources and supports to achieve their goals and lead fulfilling lives. \nAlso facilitated by Shandrea Verboom-Brodner\, Director of Supports with Inclusion Saskatchewan.

SUMMARY:Grant Writing 101 - Writing Persuasive Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this workshop on persuasive proposal writing and learn how to take your proposal from paper to approval! \nProposal writing is one of the most challenging but also rewarding parts of working in the non-profit world. We all operate on very tight budgets\, so the opportunity to pursue new programs or projects can be very enticing\, but the competition is strong.  \nWhen it comes to proposals\, it’s not always the most qualified organization who gets the grant\, but the most convincing. Your proposal is more likely to gain support if it’s clear\, concise\, and captivating. It needs to convince a potential funder that there is a genuine need in the community\, and that your organization has the experience\, expertise and the tools to address that need. \nThis webinar explores the art of persuasion in your writing\, reviews the steps you need to take to prepare your proposal\, and sets you up to successfully persuade a funder to green-light your project! \nFacilitated by Monica Schroeder with Night Sky Consulting. Monica brings over 15 years of experience working in community development\, with a focus on social enterprise and food access programming. Monica draws on a variety of grassroots programming experiences and is skilled in grant and report-writing\, workforce training and marketing for non-profits.  \nGrant Writing 101 – Writing Persuasive Proposals takes place September 25 from 12:00pm – 1:30pm over Zoom. Registration is required for this free webinar. Questions can be directed to Community Consultant Wendy McLeod.
