Lethbridge is committed to PLAY.
Lethbridge Plays is pleased to endorse the 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play, as published by Outdoor Play Canada. The statement reads:
Active outdoor play promotes holistic health and well-being for people of all ages, communities, and environments, and for our entire planet. It is critical given the multiple global challenges we face today (e.g., social and health inequities, climate change, and digital addiction). Together, as a collective of the outdoor play sector, we recommend increasing opportunities for active outdoor play in all settings where people live, learn, work, and play. To achieve this, it is important to collaborate across sectors, settings, and societies to preserve, promote, and value equitable access to active play outdoors and in nature.
Families are encouraged to slow down during the busy holiday season and intentionally make time for play. By setting aside moments for both independent and shared play, children can build creativity, fine motor skills, and emotional connections while reducing stress. A “Playful Christmas” not only supports children’s development but also helps families create joyful, meaningful memories together.
