The Breath of Fresh Air Outdoor Play Summit was hosted at the Ottawa Forest and Nature School & Wesley Clover Parks Campground in Ottawa, Ontario, from September 25-27th! The theme for the summit was ‘Play Across the Ages – Nature’s Call to All’.
Many HALOites attended and presented at the summit. Drs. Mark Tremblay, Louise de Lannoy and Eun-You Lee launched the 2025 Position Statement on Active Outdoor Play, and Dr. Maeghan James held a session on “Insights from the Sending Preschoolers Outside (SPROUT) Study: Understanding the Impact and Lessons Learned from Nature-Based Childcare Research”. Emily Stone, Maia Collins (HALO Research Coordinators), and Sabrina Buchana (HALO PhD Student) held the CHEO booth, presenting on the SPROUT and SUNRISE study.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
