DECISIVE GROUP RALLY TO SUPPORT THE INDIGENOUS YOUTH COMMUNITY

Decisive Group (Decisive) and partner Laurentian Technologies (an Indigenous Business) help fund the Nepean Nighthawks Spring Stick Together Program.

OTTAWA, ON, June 28, 2023 /CNW/ - With the generous support of $16,000 from Decisive and Laurentian Technologies, the Stick Together program was extended to Indigenous youth ages eight to 14 years old for the 2023 spring season. 

In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 calls to action, the Stick Together program was launched locally in January 2023 to reduce barriers and increase sport participation rates for underrepresented groups.  Nepean Nighthawks partnered with several organizations serving Indigenous communities to spread the word about Stick Together program which offers free field hockey programming, equipment, and transportation.  The program is an overwhelming success and participation has more than doubled this spring.  

"The Stick Together program fosters well-being and helps Indigenous youth build skills and connections that will benefit themselves and enhance the prosperity of our communities", says Mitchell Carkner, CEO, "Decisive is proud to support the Nepean Nighthawks organization as they work to remove systematic barriers that exist in sports for the Indigenous Peoples in Canada and future underrepresented groups."

The Stick Together program is an initiative the club wants to see continue and expand, serving as a trademark of the planned Field Hockey Centre facility under development for supporting community sport programming.   The Centre, which will be located on Colonnade Road in Nepean, will include two pitches, club house, outdoor classroom for tutoring and clinics, community garden, fitness trail, and bike/car parking.

"We know and understand the power of team sport for uniting people across all walks of life, keeping them active and healthy both physically and mentally," Halley Chopra President Nepean Nighthawks, "we will build a Centre that reflect those values."
