All of the @Acadia_Kine students did a great job presenting their research at this year's APES+ Conference over the past two days @stfxuniversity. The quality of student research is strong all across Atlantic Canada. Thanks @StfxHK for hosting!

So excited to share this job opportunity! Come work with us at @StfxHK @stfxuniversity. A wonderful department in a beautiful area of the Maritimes. TT in Exercise Psych.


First marathon in the books this morning at the @VHMarathon! 3:33:49 chip time. Post-tropical storm provided some rain and wind, which was great 🙃. Last 10k was as tough as advertised. Looking forward to eventually walking up and down stairs normally again.

🙌 What a great opportunity! Two @Acadia_Kine undergraduate students just submitted their late breaking abstracts, and are excited to share their Honours research at #NASPSPA2023 in Toronto!

🕵️‍♀️#undergraduateresearch students! Great opportunity to get your #conference feet wet! ⏰Deadline to submit an abstract for poster preeentation at #NASPSPA2023 is March 15. 🤓Faculty, please encourage and help your students, we’d love for them to join us in #Toronto!



What a team! Imagine what they could have achieved with half-decent coaches...


Reflecting back on a great weekend at @_SCAPPS 2022 in Montreal. First time back at SCAPPS (in-person) since 2015 in Edmonton. It was so nice to (re-)connect with mentors, colleagues, and students. Also... smoked meat and bagels. Already looking forward to Kingston next fall!

Does hosting an Olympic Games make kids go out and play? Dorsch et al shed light on the role of mega-sporting events as a catalyst to shape youth sport participation. Here is the link: doi.org/10.5406/jofoly… Congrats @FamiliesInSport @matthewvierimaa @JulianCoffman

Grateful for the funding from @CLARI_Network to conduct important research on volunteerism and coaching in youth soccer in partnership with @CITYSoccerClub @Whyatt

#NovaScotia communities with questions big and small have benefited by joining with #postsecondary faculty in the CLARI Network to conduct #community led research. Check out a few great examples that CLARI has helped to fund at actionresearch.ca



Enjoyed collaborating with @BigSkyBoiler on this partnership with @UtahOlympicPark and other stakeholders in Park City. The many road trips to the community for data collection were a treat! ⛷️🏅🏔️🏞️
