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.

This is on top of established benefits of sport, including enhanced health, personal development, community-building, social inclusion, economic development, civic participation and job creation. The learnings from the roundtables served as a springboard for further debate and discussion, culminating in a national symposium in Ottawa in October.

 

The Public Policy Forum and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport invite you to The Values Proposition – Strengthening Sport in Canada Symposium Oct. 15-16. The goal is to strengthen values-based sport for the next generation and be the catalyst for defining the future of values-based sport in Canada. The Symposium will inform and inspire thinkers, doers and decisions-markers throughout the Canadian sport communities to ensure values-based sport and the True Sport Principles become embedded in the modus operandi of sport, from playground to podium.

 

Come to Ottawa on Oct. 15-16 and commit to The Values Proposition – Strengthening Sport in Canada Symposium.
