ACTive Strategy Day Proceedings

Through the support of Sport Canada and Health Canada, the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS) hosted a one-day Strategy Planning session to present, discuss and move forward ACTive:The Canadian Strategy for Girls and Women through Physical Activity and Sport. The session took place on Saturday, November 30th as part of the National Conference on Women, Sport and Physical Activity (November 28 – December 1, 2002), in Hamilton, Ontario.

The purpose of this session was to bring together key stakeholders from a variety of different sectors to present the ACTive Strategy Framework and Action Blueprint and allow participants to learn about initiatives, share experiences, network with colleagues and start to develop specific Action Plans to move the Strategy forward within their jurisdiction.

Over 60 individuals (please see participant list Appendix A) attended the Strategy Planning session, with representation from the sport, physical activity, health, education, justice and social service sector. Although the group came from a variety of different backgrounds and contexts, all rose to the challenge and as a result developed excellent action oriented steps to move forward.

This report provides an overview of what took place during the Strategy Planning session as well as the reporting back component that occurred the following morning (December 1) as part of the Opening Plenary session.
