Chapter 2: Roadmap for Part I of this Preliminary Report
Part I — The Canadian sport system
To understand the current sport system and its challenges, it is important to examine the various organizations, bodies and entities that comprise it, including governments, sport organizations and other institutions.
In this first part of the Preliminary Report, the Commission:
- Describes the structure of the sport system, including the roles and responsibilities of its institutional stakeholders (Chapter 3).
- Examines alignment in sport system structures (Chapter 4).
- Examines the funding model of the sport system, including the funding sources, levels and priorities (Chapter 5).
- Explores leadership in Canadian sport and the potential for establishing a Centralized Sport Entity in Canada (Chapter 6).
- Assesses the current governance frameworks in the Canadian sport system (Chapter 7).
Throughout these chapters, we provide a summary of the viewpoints, experiences and knowledge shared with the Commission by a wide range of participants involved in our engagement process. With the exception of Chapter 3 which is more descriptive, each of the above chapters concludes with our preliminary findings and recommendations related to the topics discussed therein. A list of our preliminary recommendations can be found in Appendix 11 of this Preliminary Report.
In line with the Commission’s Terms of Reference, these preliminary recommendations are being put forward to give participants the chance to review them and offer input, whether through the National Summit or other engagement channels. The feedback received will be considered before the Commission submits its final recommendations to the Government of Canada.
