Indigenous Physical Activity & Cultural Circle

It is a registered national non-profit network for First Nations, Metis and Inuit people who are involved in traditional activities, fitness, recreation and sports. Its mission is to build a community of mentors, leaders, participants and supporters who promote physical activity as a path to health and wellness.

The founder and Executive Director is Dr. Rosalin Miles, and the project coordinator is Shawn Hanna. They are supported by five Indigenous board members from physical activity, health and wellness backgrounds.

Anyone interested in being more physically active can join the community network or volunteer as a Team Player. Members can also join advisory committees for Elders, youth, women and people with special needs, or attend the annual National Indigenous Physical Activity and Wellness Conference hosted with UBC.
