Success! On June 28th we pulled off our very first Sask in motion flash mob!
It was a total experiment with a new tactic for us. Flash mob have been literally popping up out of nowhere all over the world and we wanted to try.
So.. [...]
John Quincy Adams said, “If your actions inspire other to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
Smart man that Mr. Adams, and it makes sense doesn’t it:
If you want people to care about what you care about, they have to know it exists!
You need to make people notice and remember [...]
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!
We have 10 days of trivia for you, with a daily prize draw for your correct answer to the questions. We will be posting one trivia question a day, on one of our social media outlets. It’s up to you to find it, and then submit your correct answer to get your name into the draw for each day’s great active prize! (trust me they are good! I wish I could enter, for real!)
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?
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 [...]
I’ve never been a hockey player myself but I’m definitely a fan. I’d go so far as saying I’ve tried to play, but actually classifying my actions as “playing” might be a different story. Haha. Thankfully there are many people who are amazingly talented at hockey! So even though I can’t be impressive, I can be impressed by the athletes who do it right. Luckily for Saskatchewan this year’s World Jr. Hockey championship was held here. Two cities, my home town, Regina and S’toon welcomed some of the best young players from around the world to play for gold. I think that’s what is so deadly about watching any competitive sport. It can be inspiring, and usually fires me up to do something myself.

Where did a new year sneak up from? It Feels like only a year ago we were all freaking out about Y2K and ringing in the new millennium. It’s a new year and that means a fresh start, big plans, and resolutions of course! I’ve made and shall we say graciously abandoned many resolutions myself. Usually involving working out and getting in shape. This year there will be no resolution. Instead this January 1, 2010 will mark the first day in a gradual endeavor towards a lifestyle change. See I think I figured out why (for me anyway) resolutions don’t work…
They pulled it off! The Riders are headed to the Grey Cup and Rider Nation is going with them in one way or another! Most of these guys have probably been working to get where they are for the better part of their lives. There is a reason athletes are able to dedicate their lives to an activity. The adrenaline rush, the physical improvements and health benefits [even when guys are busted up, they are only concerned with the date they can get back in there] the mental escape from stress, the friendships they build, basically the pursuit of happiness. My hope is the people of Saskatchewan are inspired to harness the benefits of being active for themselves. Saskatchewan already has a crazy strong “movement” in the form of Rider Nation and it isn’t much of a stretch to make the link to physical activity. I’m gunna go ahead a releate all of this awesomeness to the power of young people too!
My name is Kenji and I work with Saskatchewan in motion, where our goal is to help make Saskatchewan one of Canada's most active provinces! [read more]
