Let's Encourage Kids to Be More Active!
The KAIZEN Kids Carnival promises an engaging experience filled with meaningful movement and physical activity for all participants. This festive outdoor event aims to promote the exploration of fundamental movement skills while highlighting the importance of developing physical literacy to lead an active lifestyle.
The carnival will feature various challenge stations encouraging children to engage in different physical activities while developing fundamental movement skills such as skipping, throwing, balance, and dribbling. These activities are designed to be educational and fun, ensuring children can discover the joys of being physically active.
One of the event's highlights is meeting and interacting with
Champions for Life Ambassadors. These ambassadors include accomplished athletes who have competed on the world stage and inspire children to pursue their dreams and embrace an active lifestyle.
"We believe that every child deserves the chance to experience the benefits of physical activity and to develop a lifelong love for movement," said David Arsenault, Founder and Executive Director of the Champions for Life Foundation. "By hosting our KAIZEN Kids Carnival, we aim to create a memorable experience that encourages children and their families to discover the joys of being active together."
This year’s KAIZEN Kids Carnival is made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Champions for Life Foundation, Youth Stars Foundation, the
Borough of
Pierrefonds-Roxboro,
ParticipACTION, and
West Island Community Shares. Their shared vision of building a healthy and active community has supported the creation of this event.
”The KAIZEN Kids Carnival is a great opportunity for local kids to be outdoors, socialize with friends and do some cool physical activities, which are sadly lacking in this generation,” said Malik Shaheed, Executive Director of the Youth Stars Foundation and Media Personality.
We invite you to join us on June 2, 2024, from 9:00 am to 1:30 pm at Parc d’À-Ma-Baie and embark on a journey to explore the wonders of movement together. For more details or further information on this event, please visit
