HIV: THE BASICS AND BEYOND
Sexual risk behavior and sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates indicate that the potential for HIV transmission among Canadian youth remains high. A Canadian study of youth ages 14-17 years found that 24% of those surveyed did not use a condom when they last had sex and 90% had misconceptions about the risks of STIs. The Aids Committee of London (ACOL), the Middlesex-London Health Unit (MLHU) and the Thames Valley District School Board collaborated on a pilot project offered initially to Grade 10 Health and Phsyical Education students titled HIV/AIDS: The Basics and Beyond. ACOL produced a one hour presentation covering the basics of HIV transmission, the continuum of risks, universal precautions and provided global and local statistics. MLHU produced a one hour presentation on STI’s, safer sex behaviours and the consequences of sexual decision making.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to...
Participants in the workshop will 1. Review recent Canadian statistics on HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections. 2. Receive two lesson plans (CD and reach and teach kit included) LESSON 1: HIV/AIDS The Basics 101 Activity on the “Truth about HIV” that will encourage youth to participate and be interactive. LESSON 2: HIV/AIDS – Beyond the Basics. STI's Choices and Consequences Yes/No/Maybe: an activity that utilizes scenarios and reach and teach kits to discuss safer sex behaviours. Condom Demonstration.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu /BJJ is one of the best options for teaching students a form of self defence. The premise of Jiu-Jitsu is, joint and body manipulation through the use of leveraging. Students learn the basics and progress slowly to a more advanced technique. BJJ includes all components of fitness; cardio capacity, muscular capacity, flexibility, mental capability, balance, coordination, agility and more importantly promotes discipline and humility. Given the recent popularity of the UFC, our program is very popular and current. Warm-up, technique, supervised sparring, and cool down is the layout of class. Programs are 1 week and wrestling mats are necessary.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to...
have a sense of what the martial art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers; a means to defend themselves in an intelligent manner by subduing and controlling their opponents, without panicking. Participants will then be shown options for dominating their opponents once they have been subdued through the use of position, leverage and one's own body weight. Finally, participants will be shown the final phase of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This is only necessary after you’ve given your opponent a chance to back off or as we like to say, ‘submit’. This workshop ties the entire philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu into one seamless application.

What Sport Can Do: The True Sport Report
A simple idea lies at the heart of the True Sport Movement - good sport can make a great difference. The importance of physical activity is underscored by Canada’s growing obesity rate. Canadians intuitively know that being active or playing sports reduces obesity but the current sport system prevents sport from realizing its potential as a public benefit for every child. When done right, sport has the ability to promote physical activity, positive youth development, and individual well-being. What Sport Can Do: The True Sport Report will help Canadians recognize the difference that good sport can make in their community.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to...
- See the tremendous power that good sport - values-driven sport - can offer in building a comprehensive, accessible and inclusive community sport system that delivers the sport Canadians want - true sport. - Understand the broad spectrum of benefits that good sport can offer including improving health and well-being; putting children and youth on a positive life course; building stronger and inclusive communites; as well as economic development and environmental sustainability. - Become a champion for ethical conduct and good sport in their community and within their sphere of influence.
