A New Resource for Your Community

With Canada planning to welcome hundreds of thousands more newcomers annually, is your organization prepared to include them through sport and physical activity?

The New-to-Canada Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity (NLTD) Pathway offers practical guidance for settlement agencies, sport organizations, and community groups working with newcomers.

Please note: This webinar will feature Wordly’s live translation and captioning services in French, enhancing accessibility for all attendees.

Date: Friday, June 20, 2025

Time: 10:00 a.m. (PT) / 1:00 p.m. (ET)

What Makes This Different

This isn’t just another resource. The NLTD Pathway was developed through extensive consultation with settlement workers, sport professionals, and newcomer communities across Canada. It addresses real challenges with actionable solutions.

Who Will Benefit

Settlement agencies looking to connect clients with local sport opportunities, sport organizations wanting to expand their reach to newcomer families, community groups seeking evidence-based inclusion strategies, and recreation professionals working in diverse communities.

What You’ll Take Away

Practical tools you can implement immediately, understanding of newcomer experiences in sport, strategies that work for different community contexts, and connections with other professionals doing this work.

Presenters Kabir Hossein and Saren Blézy from Sport for Life will share insights from the development process and demonstrate how to use the Pathway in your work.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a movement towards more inclusive sport in Canada!
