Spirit North

Spirit North is a National non-profit organization dedicated to empowering and inspiring Indigenous youth through sport and play. Our vision is health, wellness and a brighter future for all Indigenous children and youth.

Reaching over 6,000 youth annually, Spirit North delivers sport, play and land-based programs in collaboration with Indigenous communities across Canada.

“Overall, Spirit North programs have promoted a love, passion and hunger for sport. They have supported the community through sport - specifically on the land! Students are able to make the connection with their emotional mental wellness through activity, specifically outdoors” – Teacher, Morris Williams Elementary, Lake Babine Nation

Spirit North programs are developed and delivered in partnership with communities; respecting the knowledge, experience and culture of participants.

Using a play-based approach to sport and skill-development, Spirit North programs are designed to increase physical, mental and emotional well-being, while incorporating the traditions and values of each individual community.

Spirit North programs are delivered free of charge.
