The True Sport Movement’s Core Mission … to help sport live up to its full potential as a public asset by making a significant contribution to the development of youth and quality of life in our communities.
2002 Public Opinion Research • Over 90% of Canadians believe in sport’s capacity to contribute to the moral and character development of young people. • Yet, less than 20% felt the current sport system in Canada was delivering on this promise. • The Sport we HAVE is not the Sport Canadians WANT!
2008 The True Sport Report – What Sport Can Do • International literature review to support the notion of sport as a valued public asset • Benefits of good community sport include: • Improved health and well being • Positive life course for children and youth • Stronger more inclusive communities • Economic development and renewal • Greater environmental sustainability
At the heart of True Sport • is a simple idea … • good sport can make a great difference • …a great difference in the lives of those who participate in it and a great difference in the communities that support it
