The Sport for Life Society is pleased to announce the release of its 2018-2020 strategic plan. The new plan focuses on increasing expertise and advancing quality sport and physical literacy for Indigenous populations, persons with a disability, women and girls, and newcomers to Canada.
Sport for Life is committed to providing expertise to change programming from the national to the local level resulting in people having better experience in sport and physical activity. To achieve this, the new strategic plan focuses on creating, sharing, and mobilizing knowledge, which acts as a catalyst for governments, institutions, and organizations to improve programs and services.

The strategic plan was motivated by a desire to further the organization’s impact through collaboration with new and existing partners.”
Sport for Life seeks to advance its principles and programs on all continents as a means of contributing to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals and furthering Canada’s contribution to the world while generating resources that help sustain the organization. By thinking globally and acting locally, Sport for Life aims to activate change in communities and organizations.
“Our success is the success of our partners and stakeholders,” said Wendy Pattenden, Chair of the Sport for Life Board of Directors. “Success can only be achieved when we work together.”
