Although we talk a lot about our Ehrlo Sport Venture programs, and sometimes even post photos on our social media accounts, it’s truly difficult to put into words the impact that one program can have on so many.
It’s easy for us to say the words “remove barriers” and “recreational opportunities for all”, but to see these words in action really puts meaning behind them. With that in mind Sport Venture enlisted the help of Cam Liske from Courtney Liske Photography to create a video that truly shows what we’re all about.
Cam immersed himself in all things Sport Venture for over a year, coming out to each of our leagues and visiting the Sport Venture Library, even filming one of the youth in our Dress a Champion program receiving her equipment for the upcoming season. He took hours of footage and put it together in a video that we feel truly encapsulates what Sport Venture is and what we do.
Sport Venture relies on the generosity of our community partners to continually provide recreational opportunities to youth in and around the city of Regina. We are grateful for each donation received, whether it is funding, equipment, or time spent.
