We are happy to share this increadible initiative by the YMCA. Y Mind, is a mental health program that offers support for those who are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety or stress. Y Mind participants learn evidence-based coping skills based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and self-compassion, and connect with peers who are experiencing similar thoughts and feelings.
Programs are offered online and in-person and there is no cost to participate.
If you have any questions, please contact: Danyca MacDonald (She/Her), Mental Wellness Facilitator
The Safe Sport Committee of OSZ and NCD have organized sessions for all groups funded by the zones. These will be virtual sessions offered by ITP and Allison Forsyth will be the presenter. The presentations will be in English with some translated slides. Link for the session to follow.
March 2nd for the parents at 8pm.
This session focuses on introducing SafeSport, sharing why they should be aware but not scared and who they can be in fostering a positive culture and respecting their boundaries.
Introduction and current Safe Sport landscape.
Forms of maltreatment and their role in awareness around them.
Their own behaviour and the importance of respecting the “playing field” and giving distance and respect to the coach and club.
The difference between being committed to our kids and overstepping.
The parent vs. club jurisdiction.
Their role in creating a positive culture.
If you cannot make this session, it will be recorded. Please email me to organize a viewing.

Congratulations Team MSM, we WON! An incredible team effort and come from behind victory to capture the $50,000.
We collectively posted 4,200 Instagram photos that captured the spirit of MSM, proving that our little community sure punches above its weight, beating out sixty other Peaks from across Canada. For quick historical reference, you can always visit Instagram and type in #toppeakmontstemarie. The photos should be there forever.
To honour Mackenzie and to thank them for the $50,000, we are officially changing the section of the Dustin Cook run known as "Rock Cut" to the "Mackenzie Cut."
Thank you to Mackenzie Investments for pulling all of us and the country of skiers together. It's been fun. Congratulations to all finalists and especially to Calabogie and Camp Fortune for also reaching the top five. As a consolation, the good news is that the "Mackenzie Cut" will benefit their athletes as well, the region wins.
