1 Today is a huge day for me. Recently I made a decision that will massively affect my whole life. It’s scary and intimidating for sure. At the same time it’s exciting, bold and in great ways life altering.
Here’s the deal; I decided to buy a bike and adopt it as my main means of transportation. If you’re thinking whoa that’s a pretty big thing to take on.. you’re right!
Today was day 1, and the benefits of choosing active transportation are clear…
It’s been a week since our provincial gathering, Inspiring Action-Jump in 2010! I’ve spent a lot of time pondering what I learned from the event and our guest speaker Severn Cullis-Suzuki.Severn shared a lot of personal stories about her work within the environmental movement to explain how she became a young leader. We wanted the hundreds of youth in the audience and across the province to understand the incredible potential they have to be at the forefront of positive change.
Severn broke it down like this:
Hey everyone,
This will be quick. Today our S.Y.N.C with GenerationAction.ca youth (ages 13-19) contest officially kicks off!

An Environmentalist at A Physical Activity Gathering?
Severn Cullis-Suzuki is known throughout the world for her work in the environmental movement. Why then would Saskatchewan in motion invite her to be the guest speaker at out provincial gathering?
The 2010 Winter Olympics are wrapping up this weekend, I’ve gotta say I’m chocked. I’ve watched at least a few moments of every different type of event. Like most people I enjoy some events more than others.
I will totally admit to highly enjoying figure skating, of all types. Those people are athletes for sure. Patrick [...]
I am an extreme sports kinda girl. I’m working on building some skills of my own in a few of them. Until then I love, love, love to watch, so the men’s half pipe at the Olympics was a treat.
Don’t ask me to explain the names of the tricks or the scoring system. All I [...]
It can be an interesting challenge trying to find a specific topic to blog about. This time I was inspired by finding out Feb.3- 9 2010 is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week in Canada. Instead of looking at eating disorders specifically, I thought I’d take a look at what our bodies need! Not only to survive, but to be physically active on a regular basis.
People worry about shape, size, and weight for all kinds of reasons. I think the most important thing to know is that there are healthy ways to meet realistic expectations. People quite literally come in all shapes and sizes, and being healthy is what truly matters.
Fact or Fiction?
Does muscle really weigh more than fat?
In honor of the blizzard Saskatchewan just had, I thought I’d whip up a little something about the shoveling we’re all going to have to do. I had just finished my workout for the day when I decided to tackle the snow pile. By the time I was done clearing a path out to the world, the shoveling had been a more intense work out than the weights I had done. Every year shoveling always used to sneak up and wreck my back for a couple weeks when we’d get a good snow. After a few years in a row of that I learned my lesson. So here are my Snow Relocation Tips!
I was stuck on blog inspiration for this week – I had a couple of thoughts but nothing I was feeling desperate to share with the world. Then I checked my twitter (have I mentioned how much I love twitter.. I love it! [follow me @Kenji22] haha). A second glance at my direct messages revealed a tweet for my “awesome friend Tim” with another idea about how he stays active playing league rec hockey. So this one’s for you Timma!
Hey Everyone!
Happy New Year to you all!
I wanted to share with everyone a lengthier version of an e-mail I sent out to all of the contacts I’ve made at the 08’and 09’ Student Leadership Conference. As well as the participants of the Lieutenant Governors Youth Forum.
Anyway I’ll get right to it; here’s what I want [...]
