In many small municipalities and organizations, staff wear multiple hats—and responsibilities like sponsorship and advertising often get added “off the corner of your desk.” This practical course is designed to help you build the skills and confidence to manage these tasks effectively, even if it’s not your primary role.

Participants will leave with simple practical strategies, tools, and a clear framework they can immediately apply to their own work—making sponsorship
and advertising less daunting, and more impactful for their community.

Including people of all backgrounds and abilities is important for creating inclusive and caring communities. Canadians with disabilities often face barriers
to inclusion within society, including employment, financial security and social inclusion. Discrimination isn’t always intended, but it can come from a
place of not knowing how to reach out to people experiencing disability or come from a place of anxiety about saying or doing something that will be
offensive.

This webinar is about working towards making our communities inclusive and accessible, starting with the language around disability and then the next
steps, creating the ask. Some of your greatest resources in your community may remain untapped because they weren’t asked.

People living with disabilities are less likely to meet physical activity guidelines than people without disabilities. Yet even low levels of physical activity have
significant positive health effects. Moreover, best practices are not readily available for municipalities across Canada to refer to when developing nonstructured and structured physical activity and recreation opportunities for persons with disabilities and their caregivers. Therefore, the Active Living
Alliance for Canadians with a Disability and the Canadian Disability Participation Project 2.0 consulted with municipal leaders, persons with disabilities,
caregivers, researchers, and reviewed academic and grey literature to identify and develop eight best practice areas.

This webinar will provide an overview of the best practices and ‘how-to’ strategies. Linkages to the Municipal Guide to Promising and Best Practices for
Disability Inclusion in Recreation and Physical Activity will be provided.

Using Volunteer Leduc as a case study, this webinar explores programs and services developed through the Volunteer Leduc Strategy, offering practical
ideas and tools for your own community. Volunteerism is vital to our social fabric—connecting people, supporting services, and shaping society. We’ll focus
on four key principles: telling our story, creating connection, building capacity, and empowering volunteers.

Highlights include the Newcomers Mixer, corporate volunteering initiatives, and VolunteerFest, a celebration of community engagement.
