This initiative aims to promote healthy lifestyle habits and encourage regular physical activity among Indigenous youth. Through our culturally infused projects, we seek to motivate young people to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle, thereby cultivating pride, achievement, and a sense of accomplishment.

NISKA

Indigenous youth motivated and active in their lifestyle!
Niska stands out as an initiative focused on the holistic well-being of Indigenous youth, highlighting the importance of physical activity, self-confidence, and personal growth. By integrating cultural and educational elements, Niska encourages young people to adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle. At the heart of this initiative, the “Fox Challenge” offers a non-timed race, designed by and for Indigenous Peoples, which goes far beyond mere physical activity. This challenge embodies our commitment to creating meaningful events, strengthening community bonds while celebrating culture and personal development.

THE FOX CHALLENGE

The Fox Challenge is a culturally enriched event aimed at fostering pride, achievement, and a sense of accomplishment among youth. It is a non-timed race organized by and for Indigenous Peoples, where participants strive to become Foxes!

How? By completing a 2km distance through walking, running, or snowshoeing. Foxes are then rewarded with a unique medal that features the word “Fox” in all Indigenous languages of Quebec.

Already a Fox? The challenge takes on its full meaning after you have earned the title of Fox! Once the 2 km challenge is completed, you have the option to move on to the next challenge. Currently, we offer challenges of 4 km, 6 km, 8 km, and 10 km, with more to be added over time.

Be ready!

Since its beginning in 2019, the Fox Challenge has been launched in 11 communities, illustrating its success and growth over the years.
