L���itin��rance est une probl��matique grandissante au Canada. Elle est engendr��e par les in��galit��s et les injustices sociales envers les populations vuln��rables telles que les personnes a��n��es. Les b��n��fices du sport et de l���activit�� physique pour contrer l���itin��rance sont mal compris autant par les intervenants en sant�� que de la classe ��lue. Les politiques en place actuellement ne comportent pas de solutions claires et permanentes �� ce ph��nom��ne. C���est pourquoi nous proposons une solution innovatrice qui permet de toucher le c��ur du probl��me de l���itin��rance. L���activit�� physique et le sport (APS) a des r��percussions consid��rables sur toutes les sph��res du bien-��tre en plus d�����tre un v��hicule de valeurs et d���habilet��s essentielles. Ces apprentissages favorisent le d��veloppement personnel, limitent l���utilisation de substances illicites et permettent de construire un r��seau de soutien de qualit��, ce qui contribue �� la r��int��gration efficace �� la soci��t�� et l���acc��s �� un logement abordable. Ce sont les Homeless Games, un ��v��nement sportif annuel qui permet aux personnes vivant dans l���itin��rance (PVI) de pratiquer un sport comp��titif, qui a inspir�� cette proposition. De plus, bien que les ressources soient limit��es, l���int��r��t des PVI et des organismes de bienfaisance est ��norme. Les r��sultats sont positifs, l���implantation d���un programme d���activit��s physiques et sportives communautaires est possible et augmente le capital social. Il est possible de mettre un terme �� l���itin��rance en utilisant l���activit�� physique et le sport comme un outil d���intervention au sein des ��quipes interdisciplinaires qui s���attardent �� r��duire ou du moins ralentir l���itin��rance., Homelessness is a growing problem in Canada. Its causes stem from inequalities and social injustices towards vulnerable populations such as that of seniors. The benefits of sport and physical activity to counter homelessness are misunderstood by both health care providers and elected officials. The current policies do not include a clear and permanent solution to this phenomenon. Therefore, we are proposing an innovative solution that touches the heart of the homelessness problem. Physical activity and sport (PSA) can have a significant impact on all areas of well-being and is a vehicle of values and essential skills. These learnings promote personal development, limit the use of illicit substances, and build a quality support network, which contributes to effective reintegration into society and access to affordable housing. The Homeless Games, an annual sporting event that encourages the homelessness to participate in sport and leisure programs, that inspired this proposal. In addition, although resources are limited, the interest of homeless individuals and charitable organisations is remarkable. The results are positive, the implementation of a program of physical activities and sports in the community should be made possible and would increases social capital. It is possible to end homelessness by using physical activity and sport programming as an intervention tool within interdisciplinary teams that focus on reducing or at least slowing down the phenomenon of homelessness., Trayectorias Humanas Trascontinentales, N�� 11 | 2021
