Engage

SIRC creates connections. A connection with SIRC is a connection with the entire sport system. It opens the door for dialogue and long-term, strategic relationships. Through the facilitation of national workshops, meetings and conferences, SIRC brings together diverse stakeholders and voices from across Canada. Whether you’re seeking to engage with the entire sport system or a targeted audience, SIRC can help. To name a few:

Online consultations

SIRC has led sectoral engagement on the following initiatives:

• Canadian Sport Policy 2012
