Halton Sport Leadership

The City of Burlington, five schools in the Halton District School Board and the YMCA Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford are working together to create Halton Sport Leadership.

About Halton Sport Leadership:

The initiative supports at-promise youth facing personal challenges and/or economic hardships with leadership development and community involvement opportunities to build self-esteem and confidence to make a difference and positive life choices. Participants in the program are provided with training, leadership and workshops and volunteer opportunities during the City of Burlington’s March Break camps. Youth then further their development by choosing a pathway to gain further certifications in coaching, refereeing or lifeguarding.
