Empowering youth in sport skills, pro-social skills, and motor skills provides them with confidence in themselves and their abilities to do well in life. The confidence they build to try something new, possibly fail, try again, and succeed is a trait that will grow and blossom in their most important years of development and stay with them for a lifetime. Sportball builds confidence in children that they are capable of anything and the organization understands that everyone learns at different rates and has different abilities that should be celebrated. Go to sportball.ca/south-saskatchewan/our-methodology/ for more information on building skills for life.

The Roots School was founded last year by Amy Cojocar, whose dream is to help students satisfy all their needs at school — including developing resilience and healthy coping mechanisms, and becoming emotionally self-regulated. The Roots School needs community support for its first two years of operation before provincial funding kicks in, so a full-day fundraising event is scheduled for June 3 at Battle Creek Adventure Park. Come out and enjoy a barbecue, raffles, activities and games, a demo from Saskatchewan’s Strongest Man, and plenty of vivid, eco-friendly powders that will make a rainbow of colourful explosions during the racecourse!

Are your feet ready for summer? Pedicures are the perfect way to help your feet look their best especially with sandal season now underway. It is not all about looks. Pedicures help your feet stay healthy. During a pedicure, calluses that can cause infection and pain are removed. Signs of nail disease can be detected and stopped before becoming problematic. A pedicure includes a foot and leg massage which can help relieve tension in your muscles and joints. Treat yourself to a pedicure, guilt-free, for your health and wellbeing.

Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.
