Information is key to success in today's sport, culture and recreation environment. In Get the Scoop, you will find the latest news, funding and resources from the South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District.

The South East Sport, Culture & Recreation District is pleased to present a Walk for Reconciliation Guide. This guide aims to provide sport, culture and recreation groups the information and resources needed to host a reconciliation walking event. Every community and situation is different, and we invite you, as the expert in your own community, to use this guide in a way that is appropriate, impactful and safe in your respective environments and situations.

It is important to note that each municipality and/or organization will be at a different point in its journey to support reconciliation and that this guide should not be considered as the only option, but a resource of suggestions for those groups that are starting out. It is a tool meant to help share and grow reconciliation efforts!
