In Support of Local Sport

We asked and you answered.

And your feedback has helped to set our direction and our priorities.

Informed by extensive research with members of our community, we’re excited about delivering on our unique mandate by focusing on three pillars of action.

Champion. Educate. Connect.

The OSC Board of Directors has approved a new, 3-year strategic plan. It lays out an ambitious collection of services and programs to meet the needs of the local amateur sport community through three delivery streams:

  • Champion: The OSC is recognized by the City of Ottawa as a leading voice for amateur sport. We’re committed to representing the interests of community-level sport and driving policy and program improvements to advance those interests.
    • Example: Enhancing sport participation opportunities for underrepresented populations through the OSC Foundation Endowment Fund.
  • Educate: The OSC is committed to providing a range of relevant and timely educational resources, including information about current best practices and targeted materials for community-level sport participation.
    • Example: Completion of a volunteer resource project, designed to improve the process of volunteer recruitment, training, management and recognition of volunteers.
  • Connect: The OSC is a facilitator of collaboration and partnerships amongst local amateur sport groups. We create and foster opportunities for organizations to work together, share ideas and combine resources.
    • Example: Hosting the annual Ottawa Sport Summit to bring together the Ottawa community sport sector for wide-ranging discussions to better serve the sport community.
