ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of ShiftEd Podcast, Chris Colley sits down with Dr. Louise de Lannoy, Executive Director of Outdoor Play Canada, to explore why getting kids outside is more urgent than ever. They unpack the barriers keeping children indoors — from screen time to overprotective instincts — and make a compelling, evidence-based case for embracing risky, unstructured play. Louise shares the research, the policy wins, and the growing momentum across Canada. The takeaway? Step one is simple: just get outside.
