Unstructured outdoor play is essential for healthy child development and often involves some element of risk. Grounded in current research and best practice, this webinar will review key definitions, present evidence on the physical, mental, emotional, and social health and well-being benefits of outdoor risky play, discuss how to address barriers to outdoor and risky play, and use group activities to apply evidence-informed techniques to reframe perspectives on risk in play.

- About:
Dr. Louise de Lannoy completed her PhD at Queen’s University in clinical exercise physiology. Her interests in population health and knowledge translation led her to join the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Team at the CHEO Research Institute in 2020 where she became involved in and helped grow Outdoor Play Canada into the not-for-profit organization it is today. Louise is passionate about finding daily joy and wonder outdoors, environmental stewardship, and thinking creatively and collaboratively about whole-of-community challenges. She can’t believe her luck in finding such a joyous, satisfying, and playful form of work that aligns almost magically with these passions. Outside of Outdoor Play Canada, Louise enjoys exploring Ottawa by running, cycling, skiing through it and winding down at the end of the day with her partner Jeff, and their geriatric puppy.
