Success stories: Walmart and the ‘Sauga At Play’ program
Since 2006, Walmart Canada has partnered with the City of Mississauga to deliver ‘Sauga At Play’. This free, supervised, after-school program offers a range of sports, arts and mentorship opportunities at all City-operated community centres, five days a week.
Thanks to Walmart’s support, Youth, age 10-18, thrive within the safe, barrier-free environment the program provides. They benefit from physical activity, psycho-emotional support and social interaction. This impacts not only the well-being of participants but, also, that of their families and our communities.
Being a past participant and past mentor of the ‘At Play’ program I realize how important and vital ‘At Play’ is for the youth living here in this beautiful city. It was instrumental in me just becoming better as a person.
Walmart and the City are committed to building and supporting strong communities
Walmart’s support has enabled ‘Sauga At Play’ to grow with and adapt to the needs of our culturally and economically diverse youth population, for more than 15 years.
Walmart and the City of Mississauga share a mandate to continually strengthen Mississauga communities.
