Connected Through Sport hasn't added a story.
Connected Through Sport Society® is a non-profit entity designed to provide a safe and healthy environment for people who are recovering from addiction(s). One of the main goals of Connected Through Sport Society® (CTS) allows those people in recovery to participate anonymously in community sports, offering them a healthy alternative lifestyle from addictions, such as: Alcohol, Opioids, Amphetamines, Cocaine, Cannabis, etc. Serving residents of the East Kootenay region in British Columbia, CTS aims to reduce the stigma so often associated with mental health. The non-profit society provides community integration, teamwork, motivation, inspiration, health and connection.
Membership is free and available to all persons 18 years of age or older. All those, regardless of length of time in recovery are encouraged to participate. This would include those with 24 hours of sobriety. The time frame could include up to fifty years of sobriety. There are no "time" conditions related to participation. A willingness to move forward in a safe and healthy environment is encouraged.
Once a person registers as a member, access is readily available to community sport and recreation with fellow peers in recovery at a reduced cost to the participant; all the while promoting a balanced mind in a balanced body. Connecting those in recovery through sport leaves a positive and marked impact in the community.
Regarding the availability of sports and recreation activities some of the examples are as follows: bowling, paddling, rowing, yoga, downhill and cross country skiing, badminton, triathlon, etc. Further suggestions of activities are welcome. CTS hopes to employ one full-time/part-time paid employee whose job would be to organize, promote and market this new endeavour in the East Kootenay region.
The goal of this campaign is to raise enough funds to get the program up and running; raising funds for a part-time/full-time employee, marketing & promotion, registration fees for first participants, and general start-up costs.
