The Winter Active for Life (WAFL) Program introduces and encourages Yukoners of all ages to be physically active outdoors during the winter.
The WAFL Equipment Library offers cross-country ski equipment, snowshoes and kicksleds on loan to support opportunities to be winter active.
Please email us for all equipment-related requests.
WAFL Equipment Library
Through the WAFL Equipment Library, RPAY offers free loans of cross country ski and snowshoe gear to rural and First Nation communities, and to some groups in Whitehorse, for the winter season.
"The ski equipment was so popular this year. As most teachers were using it, and we created a staff schedule to ensure it was not double booked! So great to see how many students benefit from the equipment loan, and getting outside to ski at school!"
Kicksled Loans
Kicksleds are a fun way to enjoy winter. RPAY community/associate members can borrow kicksleds for up to 2 weeks for a community event or program.
"Borrowing the kick sleds allowed youth and adults to try kick sledding for the first time and to build relationships, connection, and a positive, supportive environment while being active outside."

"I'm not as proficient on skis as I would like but with Fran coming up to assist, I felt more confident in my ability to teach cross country skiing. Having a facilitator come up to the community of Pelly Crossing was excellent support."
