Mission
To act positively on the development of physical literacy of young people aged 2 to 18 in Lanaudière, by mobilizing resources that promote concrete actions aimed at inclusive and collective well-being.
The three areas of focus are:
- acting on the level of competition and performance adapted to the target population (fun, play and freedom),
- participation rate in physical activity for girls versus boys (models, inactivity, needs and interests), and
- value of the outdoors as a means of developing physical literacy.
