Delta police and the Tsawwassen First Nation have teamed up to promote a new health and wellness initiative.
Recently a health and wellness sports box was built and placed in the centre of the TFN sports field. The bin was designed by TFN staff, community members and the police. The box includes balls for various sports, books, chalk, jump ropes and will at times include TFN and Delta police swag.
The bin will be maintained by TFN and members of the DPD.
“The box exemplifies the relationship between the Tsawwassen First Nation and the Delta Police Department and their commitment towards increasing the health and wellness within the community,” said Const. Mike Grandia, TFN liaison officer. “Both the TFN and DPD are committed to the youth and children of the community and are committed to their education, physical literacy and providing an opportunity to play and have fun.”
TFN Chief Bryce Williams said they were pleased to have partnered with their friends at the Delta Police Department to offer this community health and wellness box for all to use and enjoy.
“TFN’s new sports field and playground complex has already seen a lot of use since it opened in the spring, and we hope that the addition of this box encourages even more young people in the community to get outside and play, read, and use their imaginations,” said Williams.
“We are committed to creating an environment here at Tsawwassen First Nation where our young members really thrive. Physical activity and creative play are essential for healthy development in children and youth, and this joint initiative between TFN and the Delta Police Department is meant to inspire those very things.”
