The Public Policy Forum and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport invite you to The Values Proposition – Strengthening Sport in Canada Symposium on Oct. 15 and 16. After a series of five roundtables, we’re bringing all the stories we heard from Canadians coast-to-coast, decision makers and the biggest names in sports on how to strengthen values-based sport for the next generation.
This conference will be the catalyst for defining the future of values-based sport in Canada. Values like the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport’s True Sport Principles:
Go for It – Play Fair – Respect Others – Keep it Fun – Stay Healthy – Include Everyone – Give Back

The stories we heard from Canadians at all levels of sport – from the community level to high-performance – were compelling. When played with the right values, sport brings disparate communities together. It teaches lifelong lessons and transferable skills. And it produces athletes who inspire millions of children to follow their dreams and live healthy lifestyles.
