In collaboration with the Public Policy Forum (PPF), the CCES hosted The Values Proposition: Building a Stronger Canada Through Values-Based Sport. The symposium aimed to inform and inspire thinkers, doers and decision makers throughout the Canadian sport community to ensure that values-based sport and the True Sport Principles are embedded in the modus operandi of sport, from playground to podium.
Symposium participants were presented with a challenge: to assess their current engagement with values-based sport, and to make a commitment to advance it within their sphere of influence. Examples of commitments include:
- Incorporating values-based sport in funding models,
- Athlete, coach and officials oaths that address values-based sport,
- Incorporating values and principles into community sport programs, with guidance from provincial and territorial sport bodies,
- Management by values training for Canadian sport executives,
- Intentional integration of the True Sport Principles.
View the Public Policy Forum's webpage for complete information on the symposium and its outcomes.
