Canadian Sport Policy Renewal • Meeting with the Sport Community • September 24, 2010
Canadian Sport Policy • First-ever intergovernmental policy for sport • Based on unprecedented consultations with the sport community, and other sectors, from 2000 to 2002 • Endorsed by F-P/T Ministers responsible for sport in Iqaluit, Nunavut, in April 2002 • Provides a common framework across the country to develop sport • Provided the basis for the Government of Canada’s Physical Activity and Sport Act (2003)
Canadian Sport PolicyVision Statement • Vision of the Canadian Sport Policy is to have by 2012: • A dynamic and leading-edge sport environment that enables all Canadians to experience and enjoy involvement in sport to the extent of their abilities and interests and, for increasing numbers, to perform consistently and successfully at the highest competitive levels.
Canadian Sport PolicyGoal Statements • Enhanced Participation by 2012… • A significantly higher proportion of Canadians from all segments of society are involved in quality sport activities at all levels and in all forms of participation.
Canadian Sport PolicyGoal Statements • Enhanced Excellence by 2012… • The pool of talented athletes has expanded and Canadian athletes and teams are systematically achieving world-class results at the highest level of international competition through fair and ethical means.
Canadian Sport PolicyGoal Statements • Enhanced Capacity by 2012… • The essential components of an ethically based, athlete/participant-centred development system are in place and are continually modernized and strengthened as required.
Canadian Sport PolicyGoal Statements • Enhanced Interaction by 2012… • The components of the sport system are more connected and coordinated as a result of the committed collaboration and communication amongst the stakeholders.
CSP Renewal Process • Desire for an orderly transition from the current Canadian Sport Policy to its successor post-2012 • Deputy Ministers directed officials to plan for renewal • Stages of renewal process (2010) • CSP evaluation (report in Spring 2010) • Focused consultations in each F-P/T jurisdiction • Renewal workshop (October 2010)
CSP Renewal ProcessCore Questions for 2010 Consultations • Are the conclusions and recommendations contained in the Final Report of the Canadian Sport Policy Summative Evaluation valid? • With regard to the implementation of the current Canadian Sport Policy: What has been done? What remains to be done? What should be done next? • Is there a desire for a pan-Canadian sport policy post-2012? And, if so: • What can be learned from the development and implementation of the current Canadian Sport Policy that would result in a successor policy having a greater impact?
CSP Renewal ProcessCore Questions for 2010 Consultations • Would the four goals of the existing CSP be appropriate for a new policy? • Is there a desire for an additional goal to capture and further explore non-sport-specific sector initiatives related, for example, to health, education, social cohesion, etc.? • Based on the above, what should the broad consultations envisioned for March-June 2011 look like? Who should be involved?
CSP Evaluation • Based on Evaluation Framework approved by F-P/T Deputy Ministers • Conducted from June 2009 to April 2010 • Document review, database review, P/T survey and F-P/T key informant interviews, public opinion research, discussion groups, on-line survey of NSOs/MSOs and P/TSOs, expert panel
CSP EvaluationConclusions • The overall impact has been positive • Unexpected positive impacts • Policy remains relevant • Canadian Sport Policy has been largely a success • Policy appears to have lost profile • No question that a Sport Policy is needed in Canada – whether it is the same Policy with minor tweaks or a new Policy with a different focus will depend on results of consultation.
