Online Training to become a Certified Leader with Girls on Boards
- Details
Girls on Boards is a non-profit organization, that started in Wolfville, Nova Scotia but now expanding across Canada. We offer body-positive, recreation empowerment programs for youth in stand-up paddle boarding, skateboarding and snowboarding.
We've created an immersive online training program that we would love to offer to leaders on your team so they can bring these programs to your community.
We've proven this concept is simple yet effective in engaging the community, inspiring youth with activity and body positive movement and also aligns with many municipal recreation programs plus most of our programs fill very quickly so we know they are popular!

Help inform the Anti-Racism Charter!
Recreation Nova Scotia (RecNS), with funding from the Department of Heritage Canada, is working with Wisdom2Action (W2A) to develop an Anti-Racism Charter. The Charter will provide unifying guidelines for the recreation sector to address and combat systemic racism within the sector.
We are in the process of developing an Anti-Racism Charter to address and combat systemic racism within the sector, with funding from Canadian Heritage, and support from Wisdom2Action. We invite you to fill out and share our survey to help us understand how racism and discrimination exist and are experienced across the sector.
Complete our survey.
We also have opportunities for further input via focus groups, in-person and virtual.
