The WHY is the core purpose, cause, or belief that drives any individual or organization. Over our years of operation the WHY of Halifax PLAYS has shifted, transformed, and developed. Fundamentally Halifax PLAYS serves to help the community bring recreational sports to themselves. We aim to generate greater access to decentralized sports by offering the tools and support that help sport communities launch and prosper. By reducing the common barrier to engage in and create organized sports we can indirectly generate personal growth, community development, and life long relationships.
