Ottawa, ON – The Canadian Sport Policy (CSP) 20121 sets a direction for the period 2012-2022 for all governments, institutions and organizations committed to realizing the positive impacts of sport on individuals, communities and society.
The 2012 Policy builds on the success of the 2002 version, the first-ever intergovernmental policy for sport, which was endorsed by the Federal, Provincial/Territorial (F-P/T) Ministers responsible for sport in Iqaluit, Nunavut, in April 2002. The 2002 version provided a pan-Canadian vision and framework for sport and formed the basis for the Government of Canada’s Physical Activity and Sport Act (2003).
Sport Canada (SC) worked in collaboration with provincial/territorial governments and sport sector leaders in carrying out the CSP renewal process over the period 2010-12. This included a summative evaluation of the CSP,2 as well as consultations with the Canadian sport community. CSP 2012 was subsequently endorsed by Federal, Provincial and Territorial (F-P/T) Ministers responsible for sport, physical activity and recreation, including Canada’s Minister of State (Sport), in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, on June 27, 2012.
