The Ottawa Sport Council is pleased to launch the OSC Community Sport Slack Workspace to help members of community sport in Ottawa stay connected.
The OSC Community Sport Slack Workspace will be launched with the continued support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund as part of the Rebound program. The program will complement and enhance the resources found in the Ottawa Return to Play Roadmap. The Slack Workspace will be a legacy of the Rebound program.
OSC Community Sport Slack Workspace
Slack is a widely used, channel-based messaging platform. It will be used to share ideas and resources, ask questions, and connect with others to strengthen the community sport sector in Ottawa. Each of the #channels in the Slack Workspace will pertain to a specific theme, as well as a #general channel for all other conversations in community sport.
What #channels will be found in the Slack Workspace?
- Strategic Planning: the process of determining what success looks like for your organization & the plan to work towards achieving success.
- Volunteer Management: the recruitment, retention, re-training, reward, and retirement of volunteers in all roles in community sport.
- Risk Management: identifying, mitigating, and communicating risks that have the potential to occur in community sport organizations.
- Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, & Indigeneity: the fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people such that they feel a sense of belonging.
- Safe Sport: the physical & emotional safety, concussion & injury prevention, & environments free from bullying, abuse, harassment, discrimination, & other forms of maltreatment.
Over time new channels may be added to the Slack Workspace based on the ongoing needs of community sport organizations in Ottawa.
