A new program is giving Indigenous youth personal fitness training they might not otherwise get. The Youth Leadership Through Sports program held its second training session at the University of Saskatchewan on Saturday. It's a partnership between the University of Saskatchewan, the College of Kinesiology, Huskie Athletics, and the Saskatoon Tribal Council. Saskatoon Tribal Council chief Mark Arcand said the program helps overcome some of the challenges Indigenous children might face in developing their sports skills. This is a one-year pilot program, but Arcand said they're already looking at expanding the program to include Indigenous youth from Saskatoon, and to older teens.
