KSDPP promotes being physically active, having healthy eating habits, getting enough sleep and keeping a positive attitude.
In 2025, Motion Commotion replaced the Racers for Health, an annual event promoting health and well-being since 1994, where students from Kahnawake schools practiced and competed with other schools from outside communities, in friendly competition to promote fair play, leadership and positive attitude. Since then, the Kahnawake Youth Center (KYC) has taken over the coordination of this popular and fun event, renaming it Motion Commotion, making it less competitive and more of an activity to get participants moving.
Regular physical activity is key to living a healthy lifestyle. Not everyone can be a long distance runner, but everyone can participate in a physical activity while having fun, and building confidence to try other sports or physical activities.
