🏀🎭🎨 Did you know? The After School Sports and Arts Initiative (ASSAI) helps create free after-school opportunities for K-8 students in Port Alberni, while also supporting larger events and jamborees that bring students together from schools across the district.

ASSAI activities include cross country, wrestling, choir, gardening, biking, D&D, musical theatre, and more!

Whether it’s trying something new, discovering an interest, building skills, or spending time with friends, ASSAI is all about creating more opportunities for students to participate.

ASSAI is supported by the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport.

Stay tuned for some exciting ASSAI events coming up this fall! 🍂
