“…for Indigenous athletes to continue to thrive, they need to have access to the mainstream sport system—while having their unique needs supported as Indigenous athletes.”
Engaging Indigenous Participants SPORT ORGANIZATION GUIDE
“The ASC [Aboriginal Sport Circle] strives for:
-
Healthier, more active Aboriginal peoples in vibrant communities that are fully engaged in sport, recreation, and physical activity;
-
National systems that systemically include Aboriginal peoples and organizations in strategies, initiatives, programs and services;
-
Provincial/territorial and local capacity development that serves the unique needs of Aboriginal peoples at community levels;
-
Adequately resourced sport, physical activity and recreation systems that are culturally appropriate and enable Aboriginal peoples to achieve success from the playground to the podium;
-
Finally, these outcomes have a positive impact on broader sector agendas including, but not limited to, economic development, health, mental health, environment, and justice for all”
