About Us

Sea to Sky Moves

The Sea to Sky Moves Council (est. 2020) is a shared community initiative and includes

Lil’wat Nation
Squamish Nation
Pemberton
Whistler
Squamish

The initiative's goal is to improve the development of physical literacy in the Sea to Sky corridor, and increase overall physical activity of all ages to positively impact residents' health and wellbeing.

The WHO identified insufficient physical activity as the 4th leading risk factor for mortality worldwide. Physical inactivity has been further intensified by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

Building on the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines and the efforts of Canadian expert groups such as ParticipACTION, Active For Life and Sport For Life, the Council's goal is to educate and motivate the community to increase physical activity in all age groups.

The Council is supported by the B.C. Physical Activity Strategy and delivered by Sport for Life.

MOVE to Play

For the recreation sector, there is a MOVE to Play Framework that community or rec centres can use to develop programs, training pathways, accountability, etc. This comprehensive document contains many practical tools and resources. It is available for organizations to use on their own, or you can work with a support person to help build quality frameworks in your organization around physical literacy. More resources such as a Fundamental Movement Skills Manual and PL report card can be found on the website. And, if you would like the workshop brought to your centre, we can do this as well. If you would like us to focus on different skills/games, etc we can modify accordingly.

The fundamental movement skills games book can also be purchased through PacificSport Fraser Valley for $40.00. Please email mcoyle@pacificsport.com if you would like one for you or your centre
