It's huge. I mean, we forget about childhood and the importance of play, right? Sometimes we pay a lot of attention to all of these things like risks and everything else, but part of being a kid is actually having the time to play, and play is important to children's development. Making sure that children have access to all kinds of positive activities in rural and remote communities writ large is really, really important. Even in Jordan's principle, we're seeing communities develop programs that involve culture as well. You embed the culture in the sport or you embed the culture in the activity so that it's meeting a bunch of developmental needs for kids, and they get to have some fun.
