A three-year plan has been developed that would require Board of Management approval and funding. The Sport, Recreation and Active Living Branch under the former Department of Municipalities previously presented information to the Select Committee on Health Care. At that time the Branch expressed interest in making a more detailed presentation specifically on the three-year plan to the Committee. Within the school system, the Department of Education is examining the implementation of a Peer Leadership initiative aimed at promoting physical activity in schools. Funding is provided to hire a facilitator for up to 40 weeks of free instruction for any adult learner who wishes to pursue academic upgrading for grade levels 1-9 and for GED preparation.
Learners work at their own pace.
Each CASP can be renewed for as long as a demand for service exists. Instruction is customized to give workers academic and skill development necessary to enhance their employability and improve workplace performance.
