175 Youth and Counting: ONE Program Breaks Records in Youth Registrations


ONE, an initiative created with the mission of removing economic and social barriers for children to participate in sports, is making a remarkable impact in Nova Scotia. With the slogan #AllForOneAndOneForAll, this program aims to ensure that every child has the opportunity to engage in sports activities without the burden of financial stress on their families. By providing free and accessible programs, ONE is actively working towards reducing poverty and fostering positive change in the community.


Unlike other programs, ONE places a special emphasis on offering sports opportunities to children without any cost to their families. This approach not only encourages physical activity and healthy habits but also promotes inclusivity and equal access to sports for all children. By removing financial barriers, ONE is leveling the playing field and creating a platform where every child can participate, regardless of their economic background.


The significance of ONE goes beyond sports itself. By providing free sports programs, this initiative recognizes the potential for sports to bring about positive change in the lives of Nova Scotians. Through active participation, children gain valuable life skills, build self-confidence, develop teamwork and leadership abilities, and experience the joy of physical activity. By addressing the economic and social barriers that often hinder participation, ONE is empowering children to thrive and grow, both on and off the court.


The impact of ONE extends to the broader community as well. By ensuring that financial constraints do not limit a child's ability to engage in sports, the program creates a more inclusive and equitable society. It promotes a culture where every child has an equal opportunity to pursue their passions, regardless of their socioeconomic background. By reducing the barriers to participation, ONE is helping to build a stronger and more connected community in Nova Scotia.


The ONE initiative is a shining example of how sports can serve as a catalyst for positive change and social progress. By prioritizing accessibility, inclusivity, and removing financial barriers, ONE is making a significant difference in the lives of children and families throughout Nova Scotia. With the belief that every child deserves the chance to participate in sports, ONE is working tirelessly to create a brighter future for the youth of the province.


#AllForOneAndOneForAll represents the collective spirit and commitment of ONE to ensure that no child is left behind. Through this initiative, Nova Scotia is witnessing the transformative power of sports, as it breaks down economic and social barriers, fosters positive change, and enables every child to experience the joy and benefits of active participation.
