1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the March 31, 2003 Minutes of Council, Item 1-13 regarding the Sport
Alliance of Ontario Community Sport for All Award, was referred to staff to
review. The correspondence outlines a recognition program of
Community Sport Councils within the respective Municipalities.
1.2 The criteria for the award is to recognize community sport councils that:
. Have been in existence prior to January 1, 2003,
. Select their Sports Council members from the community,
. provide a full sports program to the community that demonstrates
summer sports, winter sports, team sports, individual sports as well
as both indoor and outdoor sports.
. Promote benefits of sport for all citizens within the community and
support development by recognizing volunteers, training sport
leaders and/or hosting events
2.0 COMMENTS
2.1 Staff reviewed Clarington's sports groups and conducted telephone
interviews with the community athletic associations. As the criterion
requires a full season of sports, all of the individual leagues were
eliminated as they only offered one sport during one season. In
discussions with community athletic associations, only one athletic
association met the criteria by offering a variety of sport opportunities
throughout the year.
2.2 On review of the criteria with the Sport Alliance of Ontario, staff has
determined the Orono Athletic Association is eligible to be nominated for
recognition as a Community Sport Council offering a variety of programs
within the community throughout the year.
2.3 The nominations must be received by the Sport Alliance of Ontario by
April 30, 2003. Accordingly, approval of this nomination must be received
forthwith.
2.3 Upon approval by General Purpose and Administration Committee, staff
will submit the necessary documentation on behalf of Council.
