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.

People & Places in Halton (P2H)

P2H is a partnership between the municipality, the Halton District School Board, and the Halton Region.

About P2H

The goal behind P2H is to support the healthy development of youth in communities.
Discussion Leaders from the Municipality, Region and Community are invited into the classroom to discuss and present various concepts that span the complexity of the Built Environment/Livable Communities.
