We know mental and physical wellness go hand in hand in setting our athletes up for success! As well as their models we have to make sure we take care of ourselves and show them how to lead healthy, balanced lives, connected to our culture and nations. 

The wellness of our nations is key to us having such a successful tournament, both now and in years to come.

Syilx Basketball and the Jr. All Native Tournament are excited to invite athletes, parents, coaches, and spectators to the Pathways to Wellness Fair this Tuesday and Wednesday, March 18th and 19th, at OKM Secondary School in Kelowna. The fair is designed to offer a unique opportunity for attendees to explore holistic health and wellness techniques that support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

The event will showcase a variety of health and wellness resources, including:

• Free Smoothie Bar: Refresh and rehydrate with delicious, nutrient-packed smoothies available for all attendees.
• Syilx Cultural Wellness Techniques: Experience traditional practices that promote overall wellness, guided by cultural teachings from the Syilx people.
• Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health Resources: Learn valuable techniques and gain insight into practices that nurture mental clarity, emotional resilience, and spiritual growth.

“We believe that the Pathways to Wellness Fair offers a great opportunity for everyone involved in the Jr. All Native Tournament to not only enjoy the games but also learn about the importance of taking care of their overall health,” said a representative from Syilx Basketball. “Our goal is to ensure that athletes and their families walk away with tools and resources to support their well-being, both on and off the court.”

The fair is free to attend and open to all – whether you’re a player, coach, parent, or simply a community member looking to learn more about wellness.
