Identifies
Strategic Priorities for 2016 and Beyond
On
the weekend of September 8th-9th, Skate Canada - Central
Ontario, 27 stakeholders and volunteers
Focusing
on excellence in four areas - Athlete Development, Partner
Development, Human Resource Development and Resource Development
- areas were explored about what COS does well, what needs
improvement and what we can do to meet our potential.
After
18 hours of discussion and soul searching the following
six priorities were identified:
Under
Partner Development, COS will target additional sponsors
and develop a Marketing Advisory Committee. Regarding
Athlete Development, COS will further develop a Talent
ID program for our skaters as well as place further emphasis
on the STARSkate program. Under Organization Development,
COS will explore avenues to increase the efficiency of
the current office structure to meet the needs of all
stakeholders which will include an examination of future
IT requirements. Finally, under the Human Resources model,
there will be an increase in the recruitment of officials.
COS
wishes to thank all of the volunteers, officials, skaters
and coaches who took the time to complete the on-line
pre-session survey. Your input was greatly appreciated
and gave the planning group greater insight.

Endorses True Sport
Skate
Canada - Central Ontario is pleased to endorse TRUE SPORT,
a national movement made up of communities and groups across
Canada working to ensure that sport provides a positive, meaningful
and enriching experience for all participants.
True Sports core values are fairness, excellence,
inclusion and fun and advocates six Principles for Sport and
eight Principles for Communities. When sport participants
and communities adhere to these principles, the result is
almost certainly a positive experience because, while sport
can be about winning and losing, it is always about how the
game is played.

urge you to go to www.truesport.ca.
