Jamie Saffa, Founder and Executive Director of the Jimmy Foundation Sports Academy for Girls in Edmonton was in attendance at the Alberta North Sport Conference to start laying the foundation to protect, educate, empower, and support girls in Edmonton through sports.
On November 29 – 30, 2019, the Paradise Inn & Conference Centre in Grande Prairie hosted the Alberta North Sport Conference which brought together a team of professionals offering sessions addressing nutrition and sports performance, mental health in sport, grassroots sports and sponsorship so as to help sport volunteers, coaches, parents, and teachers better support their athletes and create a safe, healthy and fun sporting environment.
The conference featured focused sessions with dynamic speakers sharing information and tools for quality coaching and sport management. The event brought together sports organizations in Alberta such that Albertas don’t have to go to BC or Toronto to attend such an event.
