This website celebrating Indigenous achievements in Canadian sport is fabulous! If you're an instructor or student looking for a website developed by Indigenous people (e.g., an Indigenous response to TRC Call to Action #87), this is it!

The @NCAAVolleyball National Championship on Sunday will make history, as both teams are coached by women for the first time ever.
The game will also make history because a woman will win as head coach for the first time since the NCAA tournament began in 1981.
Good luck to @LouisvilleVB's Dani Busboom Kelly (@danib18) and @PennStateVBALL's Katie Schumacher-Cawley (@CoachKatiePSU), and their teams! 🏐

ALT Research card summarizing a recent publication by Pranil G C, BE, MSc, Dr. Ratvinder Grewal, PhD. Title: "Studying the Usability of a VR Interface in Safety Training". Text that reads "In exploring the usability of traditional methods of safety training, like videos, versus VR simulations, the team found that users generally preferred VR training. However, one group found video-based training easier to understand. Based on these findings, the team proposed recommendations for integrating a VR interface into traditional training methods." Includes an screenshot from a VR program showing a construction worker working at heights.

Great resource! Three women share their perspectives on sports and recreation at residential school. Themes include life on the land, how winning undermined their sense of community, and how they used recreation to make kids happy again.
