About CyberFit

CyberFit is a community-driven mentorship and education program designed to equip Winnipeg youth with the digital skills, critical thinking, and healthy habits they need to thrive in a connected world.

Over 9 weeks, students in grades 6 through 10 participate in hands-on workshops led by industry mentors, covering everything from online privacy and password hygiene to AI literacy and physical wellness — because a healthy mind and body go hand in hand.

CyberFit is a flagship initiative of Pegcity Steppers, reflecting our belief that community wellness extends beyond the track — into the digital lives of our youth.
