HIGH FIVE® is Canada’s quality standard for organizations providing recreation and leisure programs to children aged 4 to 12. As an Authorized Provider, the NWTRPA is a partner in delivering HIGH FIVE® across the NWT to community recreation leaders.

 

What is HIGH FIVE®?

HIGH FIVE® is based on five Principles of healthy child development that are essential for quality programs. This foundation comes from extensive research into what constitutes quality experiences for children, and the practical application of Principles in programs across Canada.
