A team of professionals from Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH), Renfrew Park Community Centre (RC), Windermere Family of Schools, University of British Columbia (UBC) and JW Sporta developed the evidence based Intercultural Physical Activity Guide, which aims to increase intercultural understanding using physical activity as a tool.

The Intercultural Physical Activity Guide is a launching pad for any group to explore interculturalism or physical activity. It's geared toward individuals in leadership capacities, but the activities, though originally planned for school-aged children, can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age.

The Guide includes over seven categories of activities ranging from handball to skipping and jumping, and within each category are cultural variations of activities. In Target and Accuracy Games, for instance, there are games from Sierra Leone, First Nations groups (Sahtu and Chipewyan), Greece and Ethiopia. There's even a category teaching readers how they or their participants can create their own activities. Each category has a series of intercultural discussion questions, activity co-creating suggestions and physical activity outcomes.

This guide has been developed to complement and supplement the Sport Guide Training Program led by BC Blind Sports volunteers and staff. It is important to understand that this resource is not a stand-alone resource and should be used by individuals who have been trained by BC Blind Sports. Contact BC Blind Sports today to help volunteer as a guide or learn more about their vision.

The BC Sports Hall of Fame offers a wide variety of field trips for both schools and community groups. Ideal for Grades 4 through 10, their field trips combine guided and self-guided tours plus interactive exploration in a dynamic venue for both students and educators. Curriculum based lesson plans are available online.
