Join in and celebrate RBC Sports Day in Canada!

02 October 2015 - by ymcablog
Hey there sports lovers, we just found your new favourite day of the year!

RBC Sports Day in Canada is a day for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport, build community and national spirit and facilitate healthy, active living. This year Sports Day will be celebrated on Saturday, November 21, 2015

Take this opportunity to participate in athletic activities in the week leading up to the 21st, when local organizations, communities and schools will come together to celebrate sports. Events include community-wide festivals, try-it days, open houses, games, competitions, meet-and-greets, tournaments, fun runs, spectator events and pep rallies that celebrate sport at all levels.

Better yet, why don't you organize your own Sports Day activity in your community? The national organizers will help you promote your Sports day event by providing you with communications tools you can find on their website.

Some ideas for community events include:

  • mini sports tournament

  • skills and drills workshop

  • helping beginners learn a new sport

  • swimming safety lesson

  • neighbourhood dodge ball face-off


Find a Sports Day event in your community and share your Sports Day ideas and experiences.
