UOIT students connect with local organization to make exercise fun

Students in the Bachelor of Education program at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) hit the ice hard at the Oshawa Curling Club to promote an active lifestyle.

“This is the first time we partnered with the Oshawa Curling Club,” said Dr. Wendy Barber, co-ordinator, Bachelor of Education program. “It was a good way for students to work with a local organization in the promotion of physical activity.”

26 students gathered at the local curling club to engage in promoting physical literacy outside of the classroom. Students in the Intermediate Senior Health and Physical Education class applied their enthusiasm and knowledge to encourage exercise.

“We strive to create positive and innovative learning environments for Faculty of Education students,” said Dr. Barber. “The students responded well and even took it upon themselves to create a video documenting their experience.”
