Study
concludes that governments, communities and Canadians in general have
plenty of good reasons/justification for supporting sport.
The Federal/Provincial/Territorial Sport
Ministers
met last week in Regina to review the Sport
Canada sponsored report by the Conference Board of Canada
entitled
Strengthening Canada: The Socio-Economic Benefits of Sport
Participation.
The report looks at four categories of benefits Canadians get from sport
participation: health, social cohesion, skills and economic impact. For

Keystone of Communities
Through analysis of the Statistics Canada report entitled Cornerstones of

Organizations, which was released in September 2004, sports and recreation
can be identified as the keystone of communities amongst all the sectors
that are encompassed by non-profit and voluntary organizations.
