Celebrating Recreation Leaders: Britney Nadli

Across the Northwest Territories, recreation leaders are building connections, supporting well-being, and strengthening communities in ways both big and small. From organizing local programs to creating welcoming spaces for all ages, their work plays a vital role in daily life across the North.

Through this new profile series, NWTRPA is proud to spotlight the people behind the programs - celebrating their dedication, creativity, and impact. We’re excited to begin by introducing our first recreation leader and sharing their story.
