Business Focus
The business focus and key objectives in 2019-2020 will build capacity in volunteerism, coaching and officiating development. We will work with sport and community leaders and programs on athlete development to build a multi-sport, cultural, and recreational agenda. New program development and activities will be sustainable and adequately resourced. Collaboration and participation in major, intra or intertribal events to celebrate sport, culture and the arts are fostered and encouraged. Program personnel will prioritize youth activities for pre and post classroom and weekend timelines.
