Winnipeg Community Sport Policy

On November 14, 2012, City Council adopted the new Winnipeg Community Sport Policy (WCSP). The new policy replaces the 1983 City of Winnipeg Sport Policy that only reflected the City's role in sport.

The policy was developed in stages over several years. On June 14, 2010, six partners gathered at the Sport for Life Centre to sign a Letter of Intent about the future direction of sport in Winnipeg. The partners include the City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Community Sport Alliance (WCSA), the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres (GCWCC), the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Manitoba Physical Education Supervisors Association (MPESA), and Sport Manitoba.

WCSP Executive Summary

Winnipeg Community Sport Policy

The Winnipeg Community Sport Policy has put together a logic model to guide the implementation and evaluation of the policy. The policy is based on the Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) movement and the Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD). The policy committee structure continually changes as we move further into implementation. The current committee and sub-committee structure is depicted here.
