The TRUE SPORT MOVEMENT is a national organization that is endorsed by the Federal and Provincial governments. Its main mission is to encourage and promote the development of positive values and principles for people of all ages through their participation and/or involvement in sport. Most groups, organizations, schools, etc. are already doing a lot of good work in this respect, but TRUE SPORT is hoping to help maintain focus on some of the priorities that are necessary in order for sport in general across Canada to achieve its full potential. We all have a vision of how good sport can be, but the challenge is to translate this vision into the sporting experiences that we provide our youth in particular.
My job as the TRUE SPORT COMMUNITY ANIMATOR for Northern Ontario is to meet with groups, organizations, volunteers, coaches and people like you to find out what is already successful and to identify areas that need to be worked on that will make things even better in the future. By engaging in conversation and by offering some of the resources that we have at our office in Ottawa, it is our hope that the TRUE SPORT MOVEMENT will be able to use the combined energy of all of the good things that are being done by individuals and organizations to create more excitement and commitment across the country in the promotion of positive values in sport.
