Our Focus
Alberta's Voice for Sport
What: Alberta 1-2010. Our goal is to establish Alberta
as the number one Province for sport athlete participation, development
and excellence by 2010. On a per capita basis Alberta should lead the
nation with the best athletes on the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic teams,
the best coaches and coaching development, the best hosting and event
development including provincial, National and International sporting
events, the most fit and active province, the best in sport leadership
and the most comprehensive in terms of sport policy and delivery. We have
chosen 2010 because of its easily understood focus and urgent time frame.
Who: We are going to focus our efforts on
working with 1) Provincial Sport Organizations and 2) Funding agencies
both government and private sector. Sport Alberta will connect all stakeholders
at the Regional and Provincial levels and will work closely with them
to create partnerships and alliances that enhance the voice for sport
from participation to high performance levels. We are concerned about
the entire sport continuum; however, we believe we are addressing a need
not being met at the competitive Provincial and National sport levels
in Alberta.
How: The focus of our work will centre on three core
strategies:
1. Alignment - Build Alliances …. Create Focus.
2. Advancement - Take responsibility… Be accountable.
3. Activation - Be Leaders… Be Champions.

Alignment - We believe in a Sport Plan for
Alberta. A plan that is clear, concise and cohesive. We are here
to assist in the facilitation of a common discussion about the value
of and need for a unified approach. It is our purpose to bring all
stakeholders in sport together to review, revitalize and align ourselves
around a common vision. Sport will only move forward when all Stakeholders
come together and utilize our collective voice and resources to
establish urgency.
Build alliances... Create focus

|
Advancement - We believe in a proactive approach
to moving sport to a higher level of consciousness with all Albertans.
The value of sport in society and the benefits it brings to our
communities and our people is well documented. What is needed is
an approach for holding sport agencies and sport leaders accountable
for building a better sport community. We need to engage and debate
the sport Leaders in Alberta to push their organizations to better
serve our citizens and communities.
Take responsibility…Be accountable
|
|
Activation - We believe in a "get going"
approach to improving. The issues have been clearly debated and
frameworks have been outlined. Now is the time to refine our priorities
and business plan and celebrate and champion the values of sport.
It is time to act on those priorities and hold each other accountable
for results.
Be champions… Be leaders
