Sport Plan for New Brunswick

Dec 14, 2007

The Department of Wellness, Culture and Sport has agreed to be a partner in the development of a Sport Plan for the province and is co-chairing a Steering Committee with Sport New Brunswick to oversee the process. Colin Higgs Consulting has been hired to develop the plan from consultations with the community.

This sport plan will:
a) Identify a vision for sport in New Brunswick
b) Identify and coordinate existing efforts,
c) Identify existing and future needs for sport development,
d) Establish plans for a coordinated effort to develop sport,
e) Assign responsibilities, and
f) Establish priorities for future investment.

A provincial brainstorming session was held in Fredericton on November 28th. The discussions from this meeting will be used to develop an overview of a sport plan for New Brunswick. This overview document will be used to generate comments and ideas through a series of regional consultations.

It is at the regional consultations where delegates will develop the vision for sport in New Brunswick. It is at these sessions where the Sport Plan for New Brunswick will take shape.
