Session A
Developing Excellence in Your Youth Sports Organization
This program teaches leadership teams how to progressively improve through a three-pronged approach to excellence.
It teaches how to establish relevant core values, improve parent education, and implement coaching education that
focuses not only upon athlete development, but development of the whole person. Far too many sports organizations
focus upon programming that affects a very small percentage of high-performance athletes. This program teaches them
how to serve every individual while still serving the needs of the elite athlete.
From Active Start to a Gold Medal Profile - Own The Podium and Sport for Life
Canadian athletes’ journey from an Active Start to challenging for a gold medal can be complicated and confusing. This
session, led by Own The Podium and Sport for Life, will detail how the two organizations work together to guide
organizations’ athlete development programs from playground to podium. The session will also increase your
understanding of current terminology and podium pathway principles that provide a common framework for the
Canadian sport system.
1. Strength and Conditioning for the Paralympic Athlete
As the world of Paralympic Sport continues to grow, strength and conditioning programs are becoming an essential
piece to assist our Paralympic Athletes in achieving optimal performances. In order to create a training
environment that truly nurtures excellence, there are a number of factors that need to be in place:
1. An open and welcoming training environment
2. Effective use of Long-Term Athlete Development principles
3. Persistent focus on improvement - process and effectiveness
4. Considering needs of the person/athlete and the program objectives
5. NSO/PSO alignment and leadership

Strength and Conditioning for Female Athletes
This presentation will identify the areas of growth needed in strength and conditioning for female athletes by
exploring current best practices and relevant sport science research. It is imperative that all stakeholders involved
in the development of female athletes understand the importance of effective physical preparation to enhance
performance and prevent injuries. Although there is a high participation of female athletes at various levels of
competition, it can be argued that the sport community does not yet fully appreciate the unique strength and
conditioning needs of the female athlete. This presentation will specifically address the importance of strength and
conditioning to the female athlete, and highlight strategies that may be used to challenge the culture of girls and
women engaging in strength exercises. It will discuss methods to best meet the needs of female athletes across
various sports and development levels and explore the barriers and challenges faced by female athletes in
accessing effective strength and conditioning programs. Currently, critical windows of opportunities are not being
maximized and further work needs to be completed to create optimal conditions that support the long-term
physical development of women and girls.
Injury Surveillance: What Gets Measured, Gets Managed
Injury is a clear threat to quality sport programming. Separate from the risk of injury, which can be embraced as
part of the fun and excitement of sport participation, actual injury is a lead factor in sport withdrawal for young
people in Canada. Where, when, why and to whom injuries occur in recreational and high performance sport
remains largely unknown. In the modern environment where basic technology allows instant sharing of information
across the globe it is simply unacceptable that collectively we do not know a simple count of how many
concussions, ACL, or broken arm injuries occur in organized sport programming in Canada. Further, the lack of
granular information precludes organizations from implementing strategies to create safer pathways to

performance and improve the overall experience of the athlete. Preventing injury is not about eliminating the
fundamentals of the activities, but rather enhancing the strategic operation of the organization to provide the best
possible outcome for athletes within the parameters of that activity. Borrowing from H.J. Harrington, measuring
injury is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure injury, you can’t
understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it. This
presentation will highlight a Canadian solution - Play Safe Injury Tracker - that leverages today’s technology to
provide a free web-enabled platform for sport organizations to address the gaps described earlier. The online tool
was developed by sector experts, through extensive multi-sector consultation and has been successful in tracking
injury at multi-sport and single sport competitions, and season-long sessions. This presentation will provide the
rationale for building a national injury surveillance strategy to enhance the Canadian sport system and drive quality
experiences for all participants. Attendees will be introduced to internationally recognized approaches and models
for injury surveillance in sport and will also have a hands-on opportunity to use the Play Safe Injury Tracker.

Using Athlete Monitoring to Prevent Injuries and Maximizing Athletes’ Well-Being and Performance
According to the US Center for Disease Control (CDC), half of sports injuries are preventable and recent sportscience research has identified effective tools and strategies that can be used to effectively prevent sports injuries.
During this session, you will learn more about the latest scientific findings on workload, lifestyle and well-beingrelated injury predictors. You will also learn how to better individualize training loads, recovery, and minimize the
risk of injury using evidence-based monitoring techniques, workload management strategies and cost-effective
athlete monitoring technology.
Addressing Substance Use Through Youth Sport Programs
Compared to any other time period in life, substance use and sport participation are most prevalent in
adolescence. Participating in sport can keep youth engaged in the community and offer opportunities to build
positive social relationships, self-confidence and life skills. However, research findings to date have shown that
participation in sport is associated with an increase in alcohol use, a decrease in illicit drug use, with inconsistent
results regarding marijuana use. This is concerning as substance use can negatively affect positive youth
development. The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA) is working with researchers and practitioners
across sectors to better understand the relationship between youth sport participation and patterns of substance
use to ensure the benefits of sport participation can be maximized and the risks minimized. CCSA conducted an
environmental scan of youth sport programs that address substance use (e.g., providing education on drug harms).
The scan captures the effectiveness of sport programs in reducing substance use among this population and
provides implications for prevention efforts based on the findings. This presentation will provide an overview of
current research and knowledge exchange efforts to better understand the relationship between sport
participation and substance use, including the results from the environmental scan. Recommendations for moving
forward with utilizing sport as means of youth substance use prevention will be discussed.

The Social Impact of Sport and Recreation Funding Through Jumpstart
Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities (Jumpstart) is a nationally registered charity that helps kids from financially
disadvantaged families to participate in sport and physical activity. Since 2005, Jumpstart has helped over 1 million
Canadian children in communities across Canada. This presentation will briefly review four unique case studies of
community development programs launched with the support of Jumpstart. The first is a program developed with
the Keewatin Patricia District School Board focused on psycho-social health and wellbeing in Aboriginal and First
nations youth; the second is a program developed with the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal local police
station 30 focused on crime prevention and youth engagement; the third will explore the impact of a
comprehensive after-school program run with the Surrey District School Board on youth workforce participation.
The fourth case study will demonstrate how Jumpstart’s unique program delivery model allowed us to rapidly
reach over 4,800 children of Syrian refugee families with the support of Sport Canada. Together, these four
programs demonstrate how quality sport and recreation programs not only underpin health, happiness and success
but can be designed to drive health and well-being in targeted ways.

L’excellence au cœur des systèmes
Il a été maintes fois démontré qu’un mode de vie physiquement actif (MVPA) est un facteur déterminant de la
qualité de vie des individus. C’est pourquoi des acteurs gouvernementaux et non gouvernementaux de la Table sur
le mode de vie physiquement actif ont mis à contribution leur savoir et leur expertise pour élaborer une vision
québécoise d’un mode de vie physiquement actif. Cette vision sociétale rallie les acteurs de différents milieux en
vue d’établir un front commun ayant pour objectifs : d’ajouter du mouvement à la vie quotidienne de la
population; de hisser le MVPA au rang de norme sociale. Acteurs et organisations sont donc invités à offrir à tous
les citoyens (indépendamment de leur âge, leur condition, leur capacité ou leur statut socioéconomique) des
milieux de vie qui proposent davantage d’occasions de bouger. Sur la base de cinq fondements, dont la « littératie
physique », ils articuleront ensemble leurs efforts autour de priorités d’action. Cette vision est une invitation à
l’engagement, à la complémentarité et à la solidarité, conditions sine qua non à la création d’une société qui
reconnaît l’importance de la pratique quotidienne d’activités physiques diversifiées. Mais, pour y arriver, il faudra
pouvoir compter sur : des décideurs à l’écoute et engagés; des organisations mobilisées; des actions structurantes
et concertées; des acteurs prêts à agir; une population convaincue des nombreux effets bénéfiques de l’activité
physique; et des environnements (physique, politique, socioculturel et économique) favorables à la pratique
d’activités physiques. Cette présentation ouvre la voie à une série d’interventions. L’heure est à l’action!

La littératie physique au coeur du Québec
Le Réseau Accès Participation (RAP) agit comme un carrefour d'opportunités en sport et loisir au Québec et a pour
mission de faciliter l'accès à des ressources et des programmes de subventions permettant aux organisations
québécoises de rejoindre encore plus de personnes dans leur secteur d'activité. Afin de contribuer à rendre la
population plus active et en meilleure santé, le RAP s'adresse à différents réseaux tels que : °Ses membres : les
organismes qui offrent des programmes d'activités en sport et loisirs aux jeunes du Québec et qui souhaitent
bénéficier de possibilités de financement, d'information et de formation offertes par les partenaires corporatifs du
RAP. °Ses partenaires : des organismes canadiens qui souhaitent accroître leur rayonnement et assurer la diffusion
de leurs différents programmes et opportunités auprès de la population québécoise. °Tous les québécois : qui
bénéficient ainsi, à travers leurs organismes locaux, d'une accessibilité accrue à des programmes de sport et loisir.
Le RAP a développé des stratégies intersectorielles pouvant rejoindre l'ensemble de la population québécoises
dans les différents secteurs du sport ou du loisir et permettant à des organismes canadiens de franchir la barrière
francophone québécoise.

Session B
A Deeper Dive into the Athlete Development
In this session, performance components, determining winning style of play, and podium results track will be unpacked
for delegates to understand the details upon which to base high quality athlete development programs. Explanations
will include what the details are and how they set a foundation for assessing individual athlete development through
the Long-Term Athlete Development stages to podium performances and then towards becoming active for life. This
deeper dive into athlete development is designed for the delegates to understand how they can create a pathway to
optimize their athletes’ human and athletic potential. Don’t attend if you are not ready for an intense session.
Aboriginal Long-Term Participant Development Pathway
The Aboriginal Long-Term Participant Development (ALTPD) resource represents a huge opportunity for NSOs and the
sport system to engage a large pool of participants that have not traditionally seen success in the Canadian sport
system. The ALTPD has been designed through engagement with the Aboriginal stakeholders from across the country. It
represents a game-changer for understanding Aboriginal culture and how to create relationships and cultural
approaches that will build success for your sport organization to attract and retain a talented pool of athletes.
Champions League - Sport for Life Leaders School 2016
One year ago leaders from across Canada met at the Sport for Life Summit to launch Sport for Life Leaders School 2016the 4th year of the highly successful program. In this panel presentation they present their projects - the culmination of
their year of work to advance Sport for Life and physical literacy in their communities. Find out what happens when a
group of Sport for Life champions set out to make an extraordinary difference!

Long-Term Athlete Development 101 (2.0)
The first edition of the Canadian Sport for Life Resource Paper was published in 2005. The Canadian Sport for Life Long-Term Athlete Development project became a movement after 2010 and, driven by Kaizen, evolved
significantly. This presentation will overview all changes and will illustrate the updated Sport for Life - Long-Term
Athlete Development Framework. The presentation will cater to participants with experience in Long-Term Athlete
Development and for those who would like to upgrade their knowledge about Sport for Life - Long-Term Athlete
Development.

Sequencing Training Activities in the Weekly/Monthly Structure
The coach has to know WHAT to train when athletes are fully rested in order to get adaptations. WHAT could he
train when the athletes are in a light to moderate state of fatigue? WHAT could he train when athletes are
fatigued? HOW do you sequence in a practice and in a week the following objectives related to motor skills:
Acquire; Consolidate; Refine; Maintain?
I Wish I Had Known This Before
Ensure your programs and engagement with athletes, coaches, staff, boards and clubs are reaching their maximum
potential. SIRC is Canada's national sport resource centre, and in this workshop you will learn how to:
Strengthen the capacity of your organization with available tools, templates and resources (strategic plans,
communication plans, sample policies, case studies, best practices, ); access thousands of training journals,
international coaching insights, trends in research and performance development; engage with your members
using webinars (including dos and don'ts about effective webinars); share and promote your activities (both locally
as well as nationally)
This workshop is ideal for Executive Directors, Board members, communication and marketing staff, technical
directors and coaches.

Organizational Effectiveness Through Cloud Computing Technology
IT infrastructure is a necessity of any modern workplace, especially an organization that includes decentralized
employees and employees that travel. Employees not only need information through email, internet, calendars and
files, but require that information on all of their devices whether at work, home or on the road. Unfortunately, the
traditional IT infrastructure that enables organizations to offer their employees the flexibility to work from
anywhere, and provide a seamless decentralized office environment can be cost prohibitive for many smaller, non
profit, organizations. Join the Canada Games Council as they explore the more cost effective approach to creating
modern connected workplace through the use of Google Apps cloud technology.
Unlike traditional IT, cloud based technology offers what is refereed to as a fee for service. The organization takes
on no up front capital expenditures as all infrastructure (servers) is housed in a central warehouse and shared by
many organizations. The added bonus of cloud computing is the ability of users to access their information from
anywhere there is an internet connection, without having to install and maintain a virtual private network.
In addition to the fee for service hosting, Google Apps also offers a suite of productivity products that focus on
collaboration of material development that can't be easily done with traditional desktop software. Add in that
Google Apps is free to use, with unlimited users, for Canadian non-profit organizations, and you have a nearly
perfect IT solution for the small to medium size sport organization with employees and volunteers spread out
across the country.

Manage Volunteers Differently
Let's look at ways to manage our volunteers differently. We know volunteers are getting younger and they like
smartphones. So let's look at ways to engage with volunteers using their technology!
Before your Event --> PLAN = Build your schedule and recruit volunteers. Do it once as this can be saved for next
time.
During your Event --> CONNECT = Communicate to different volunteer groups (registration, officials, results etc.)
After your Event --> REPORT = Gather information recorded during the event.

L’excellence pour la vie
Baseball Québec et Baseball Canada sont depuis les dernières années extrêmement proactifs dans le but d'offrir la
meilleure expérience possible aux jeunes joueurs qui choisissent notre sport. Pour ce faire, nombreux
investissements et affectations de ressources ont été faits tout récemment et sont planifiés pour venir appuyer un
plan ambitieux et novateur visant la formation, la valorisation et le soutien à ses entraîneurs.
Il nous apparaît aussi très clairement, à l'amorce d'un tel projet qui s'échelonnera au minimum pour les 3
prochaines années, de l'importance de venir camper et ancrer les valeurs, les fondements, qui guideront toutes nos
interventions futures : Susciter la passion pour l'activité physique, voire le développement de la littératie physique.
Un projet, un plan, qui s'appuie sur l'expertise développée en intervention pédagogique et en matière de
communauté de pratique, qui se colle au concept de littératie physique et aux travaux de nombreux partenaires.
Un projet qui repose essentiellement sur l'identification des « gens d'actions » comme condition essentielle au
changement de paradigme et à la modification de comportements chez les pairs. Ces personnes constituent,
consciemment ou non, des personnes déjà engagées dans le changement souhaité, des passionnés, des modèles et
moteurs pour leurs pairs. Ils ont généralement un bon cercle d'influence, sont reconnus par les pairs et sont
rarement isolés.
Bref, une série de mesures, de technologies et d'outils seront développés par ce projet avec comme objectifs des
entraîneurs mieux formés, valorisés et soutenus contribuant au développement de la littératie physique des
participants, suscitant la passion pour l'activité physique, améliorant la qualité de l'expérience et contribuant à
l'adoption d'un mode de vie physiquement actif.
Cette présentation se veut un partage vers les autres sports et professions qui pourront sinspirer de cette
démarche structurante pour accompagner leurs entraîneurs, leurs intervenants.

Perceptions des entraîneurs face à l'utilisation des statistiques avancées en hockey
In ice hockey, a new trend in performance analytics has taken place over the last five years. However, very little
data is available about the coaches’ knowledge, beliefs about the usefulness of advanced statistics in competitive
hockey. This study aimed to investigate about coaches’ beliefs and perceptions about the utilization of advanced
hockey analytics at the developmental and competitive levels. Moreover, we verified if beliefs differ regarding
coaches’ competition level and coaching experience. Fifty elite hockey coaches involved in different levels of
competitive hockey (junior, midget elite, college, university, and professional) accepted to complete an on-line
survey. Coaches’ knowledge, attitudes, social norms, perceived facilitators, perceived barriers and intentions about
new hockey analytics were measured. Descriptive statistics and group comparisons (coaching experience, leagues,
and competition level) were performed to verify the presence of differences related with multiple factors. Results
from this study revealed that coaches had high intentions towards using advanced hockey analytics in their
coaching tasks. However, some challenges such as adapted materials and human resources were identified as
potential barriers. Variables such as competition level and coaching experiences were also factors in which coaches’
beliefs differ. Practical implications with the survey results will be discussed.

C1 Mapping a New Development Pathway for Girls
The development path for many girls is comprised of twists and turns, dead-ends, and a number of unexpected hurdles.
With a focus on the FUNdamentals, Learn to Train, and Train to Train stages, this session will examine practical ways to
"repave" the path for girls, making it more responsive to their physiological, psycho-social and cognitive needs. A panel
presentation will identify key issues and opportunities. Group discussion will drill down into each stage for sharing best
practices. A summary of discussion from the pre-conference session hosted by the Canadian Association for the
Advancement of Women and Sport and Physical Activity (CAAWS) will also be shared. This session builds on previous
CAAWS-led sessions designed to profile best practices and support action to ensure the Canadian sport system is
"nurturing the excellence" of girls and women as participants, competitors and leaders.

Leadership Secrets of the World’s Best Coaches (40 minute)
Excellence in leadership in sport is often misunderstood, simply because most coaches think that coaching is an Xs
and Os business. It is not. It is a relationship business. In this presentation, and drawing upon his extensive work
and research in coaching education, John outlines five key areas that coaches must excel at to help their athletes
and their teams perform their very best: know yourself, know what your athletes need, intentionally develop your
culture, become a better teacher, and never stop learning. Participants will gain actionable ways to improve their
coaching and mentorship of their athletes.

Motor Skills and Muscle Strength that Nurture Excellence for a Lifetime
This session provides solutions that support physical literacy and Long-Term Athlete Development as the
framework for positive youth development. Specifically, progressions for fundamental motor skills, muscle
strength, and other fitness attributes will be shared that help promote excellence for life.
With the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Position Statement on Long Term Athletic Development
as the reference point, the importance of motor skill development, movement competence, and muscle strength
will be presented. The focus of the presentation is improving the health and wellness of all kids by emphasizing
developmentally-appropriate motor skills and muscle strength. Attendees will receive information on how to
create programs for youth that promote physical literacy for all kids at all levels, leading to a lifetime of physical
activity.

Beyond the Bucket List: Nurturing Excellence in the Adult Athlete
It has been said that growing old is not for sissies. Nor is physical literacy only for the youth. There exists an entire
cohort that is ready to engage in physical activity to see them through the next phase of their lives. They may have
taken decades away from the activities of their youth - or have perhaps never been active before. They are ready,
willing and able to get out there and play - but fear their skills are inadequate, leaving their confidence shaky. Being
active-for-life, requires one to take the first step but what is it that adults need in order to take it?
This presentation will describe two ongoing programs: a distance running program and a women-only cycling
program, where the journey for the athletes has been both successful and surprising. The introduction of
movement preparation and skill development under the enthusiastic and watchful eye of experts and in the
company of like-minded individuals to connect with - continues to result in the most remarkable transformations.
This is what Nurturing Excellence in adult athletes, becoming active-for-life - can look like.

over time and incorporates an understanding of physical literacy. This presentation focuses on findings from a
study that examined perspectives on athletic identity, physical literacy, and adaptation among a sample retired
Olympians. For this study, in-depth interviews were conducted with retired Olympians from 12 different sports,
ranging in age from 21-78, following a life story approach that focused on transition points. These retired elite
athletics struggled with pain from injuries endured during their careers. The physical literacy skills and traits that
allowed them to persevere in their sport, such as body control and the ability to maintain absolute focus on a goal,
ultimately helped them adapt to new ways of engaging with sport and exercise. Though the sample is unique, the
findings have broader relevance and highlight the importance of developing multidimensional, dynamic sport
programming that fosters community and social engagement, addresses adaptation to injury and is goal oriented.
On The Move: A New Youth and Community Program for New York Road Runners
Over the past year, Sport for Life has collaborated with New York Road Runners, one of the world's largest running
organizations, to create a new physical literacy-based youth program touching over 200,000 kids across the United
States. The new program is designed to follow Long-Term Athlete Development principles and the SHAPE America
physical education curriculum guidelines, using a games-based approach to physical literacy and running
development. This is a groundbreaking new program that aims to get kids across America to run for life. Find out
how we did it!
Supporting Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Sport
Individuals with ASD have unique challenges with social interaction and communication that can be challenging for
coaches in integrated community sports. It is essential to build autism awareness so that more athletes with autism
have the opportunity to participate in a range of physical activity environments. This session will provide an
overview of what ASD looks like in a sports environment and introduce session participants to some basic strategies
to promote success for athletes with autism. Many of the strategies will be equally applicable to coaching athletes
with a range of other “non-visible”disabilities, including ADHD, FASD, learning disabilities, and other related
challenges.
The overview of autism spectrum disorder will describe each of the core features of the diagnosis and provide
examples of what these challenges may look like in a sports context. This section of the presentation will also dispel
some of the common myths about autism, including the belief that individuals with ASD are not social, that they
have poor language and/or intellectual capabilities, and that they are not interested in sports.
The overview of strategies for supporting individuals with autism will include topics such as how to adapt
communication/coaching style, teaching competition and game play, and building motivation. Examples will be
provided for coaching both younger and older athletes with a range of abilities in a variety of sport contexts.
1. La littératie physique dans les camps d'été
Tremplin Santé a pour objectif d'aider les jeunes à grandir en santé. Le programme favorise l'adoption et le
maintien de saines habitudes de vie par la pratique d'activité physique et la saine alimentation. Implanté au
Québec et en Ontario avec 417 camps adhérents et touchant près de 100 000 jeunes campeurs, le programme
s'étendra en Colombie-Britannique et au Nouveau-Brunswick pour un déploiement pan-canadien.
En 2016, Tremplin Santé a bonifié son approche en intégrant des formations et es outils pratiques sur la littératie
physique, grâce à une collaboration avec Le sport c'est pour la vie et le Réseau accès participation. Des sommets,
des webinaires ainsi que des guides ont été développés pour permettre aux camps d'été de se familiariser avec ce
concept encore peu connu dans le milieu des camps. La compréhension et la mise en pratique de la littératie
physique dans les camps se développent grâce au partage de bonnes pratiques au sein de la communauté Tremplin
Santé. Une évaluation des effets suivra à l'automne 2016 et un développement d'outils terrain est prévu pour 2017.
Les camps ont la chance de permettre aux jeunes de vivre des expériences positives en activité physique en
développant leur compétence, leur confiance et leur motivation. Par ailleurs, une intervention l'été permet de
pérenniser les efforts déployés durant toute l'année scolaire. Gestionnaires, coordonnateurs et animateurs de
camps sont des acteurs clés pouvant contribuer à l'excellence pour la vie en améliorant la santé et le mieux-être
des jeunes.
Grâce aux formations et outils proposés par Tremplin Santé, nous désirons maximiser les chances que les jeunes
deviennent actifs pour la vie.

Le Défi sportif AlterGo est un événement sportif international qui rassemble depuis plus de 30 ans des athlètes
handicapés de la relève et de l'élite. Chaque année, quelque 5 000 athlètes se donnent rendez-vous pour 7 jours de
compétitions dans la grande région de Montréal. Depuis sa découverte de la littératie physique, l'équipe du Défi
sportif AlterGo, déjà convaincue depuis longtemps de l'importance du sport pour la santé et le bonheur des
personnes ayant une limitation fonctionnelle, partage avec conviction ce concept aux jeunes athlètes handicapés
qu'elle reçoit, ainsi qu'à leur entourage (parents, enseignants, physiothérapeutes, etc.). Ainsi, le Défi sportif AlterGo
partagera le cheminement parcouru afin d'encourager cette clientèle à adopter un mode de vie sain et actif
quotidiennement, au-delà de leur participation à l'événement, ainsi qu'à favoriser l'élimination des obstacles
systémiques. La présentation inclura les différentes initiatives mises en place, ainsi que les différents outils
développés, afin de faciliter l'inclusion des jeunes ayant une limitation fonctionnelle lors d'activités physiques et
sportives. Afin de renforcer l'importance de l'activité physique pour cette clientèle, la présentation sera parsemée
de témoignages d'athlètes handicapés ayant participé au Défi sportif AlterGo à différents niveaux, pour qui le sport
a eu une importance capitale.

du Québec et constituent la pépinière des athlètes de «prochaine génération», les athlètes en route vers
l’excellence sportive du Québec. Les CREM ont le mandat de coordonner un continuum de programmes et services
visant le soutien au développement des athlètes de haut niveau au Québec et en assurer l’intégration dans leur
région respective. Au fil des dernières années, tout un réseau d’intervenants sportifs (entraîneurs, préparateurs
physiques, physiothérapeutes, nutritionnistes, psychologues sportifs, etc.) s’est implanté et soutient ces jeunes
athlètes québécois qui sont, à leur façon, des modèles de saines habitudes de vie et d’une saine pratique sportive.
En plus de soutenir de plus en plus efficacement ces athlètes de prochaine génération, le réseau voit aussi au
développement des intervenants sportifs intéressés par cette pratique sportive. Plusieurs milliers de jeunes
athlètes québécois et les intervenants sportifs qui les accompagnent sur leur route vers l’excellence bénéficient
donc des services de ce grand réseau. La présence de ce vaste réseau dynamise de façon remarquable toute la
structure sportive québécoise.

Adapt or Die… The Role of High Performance Centres in Aligning Sport in Canada
A legacy of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, the Olympic Oval is home to the fastest ice in the world and a recognized leader
in sport development and research throughout the world and recently embarked on a comprehensive review and
restructuring of its programs. Focused on sustaining excellence, the Oval in partnership with Speed Skating Canada has
embraced the principles of long term athlete development to reshape the Oval’s programs focused on the athlete
development pathway. Engaging PTSOs, Own The Podium & Canadian Sport Institute – Calgary along the way,
learn how the Olympic Oval has leveraged it’s enviable position to create alignment amongst local, provincial/territorial
and national organizations, influencing the behaviour of coaches and the training of athletes at all levels.
1. A Model to Maximize the Health Impacts of Multisport Events: Northern Health and Canada Winter Games

the 2015 Canada Winter Games (CWG) provided an opportunity for those four sectors to come together to
promote sport, prevent injury, and inspire physical activity. With that event, and others like it, come questions
around collaboration, partnerships, planning, and legacy.
When a multi-sport event comes to a host community, what are the opportunities for excellence across multiple
health perspectives? How can we ensure that host communities identify and maximize those opportunities - all
while ensuring excellence in medical services for the event, creating a healthy legacy, and maintaining local and
regional health care responsibilities?
The experiences of, and data from, BC's Northern Health Authority during the 2015 CWG shine a light on these
questions. What has emerged from this data - and analysis with the benefit of hindsight - is a best practice model
that places health benefits, legacy, multi-sport event planning, regional health care responsibilities, training and
education, public health considerations, injury prevention, research and knowledge sharing, maintaining local
operations, and more within a single, integrated framework.
We will present how the Emergency Management Continuum was, in many ways, being used implicitly throughout
the preparations leading up to the Games and will discuss the positive impact that a more explicit, intentional and
proactive commitment to this framework can have for communities hosting multi-sport events.

5 Key Elements for an Effective Concussion Policy
Concussion policy development is challenging in a sport environment, but it doesn’t have to be a headache. An
effective concussion policy is an important element of quality sport programming. Not only can it reduce the risk of
concussion to athletes but also helps to promote healthier return to practice and performance. Unfortunately,
there is no “gold standard” policy that is appropriate to apply across the different sports and levels of competition.
However, there are 5 key elements that, when included in a policy, are known to be effective in reducing injury risk
and support healthy return to play. This interactive presentation will review the internationally consistent and
evidence-based components that must be included in any sport organization's concussion policy. Additionally, the
presentation will include a checklist, based on the 5 key elements, for session attendees to evaluate their
organization’s policy or use to develop one. Attendees will have an opportunity to use the checklist to evaluate a
sample policy and can expect to leave with new skills in both concussion policy development and evaluation.
Building a Sustainable Paralympic Development Strategy
The Paralympic landscape is changing rapidly in Canada, and indeed across the globe. Canada was an early leader in
the Paralympic movement, and needs to continually innovate in order to remain a leading nation. The Canadian
Paralympic Committee (CPC) recognizes the importance of system excellence across all stages of the Long-Term
Athlete Development. Currently, the small pool of Paralympic-potential athletes necessitates innovative
approaches to athlete recruitment, retention and development approaches that cannot be successfully executed
without cross-sectorial collaboration and alignment across various levels of the sport system. The CPC’s System
Development and Education team will share their strategy development process, which was completed through a
comprehensive sector consultation. The strategy development process was guided in large part by the CPC’s
overarching strategic commitment to increase parasport participation and implement sustainable athlete
development activities that are proven to translate into better high performance outcomes. Throughout several
months, we worked with to engage key partners and develop a sustainable System Development strategic
framework. The process resulted in a dynamic strategy that emphasizes defining priorities, ongoing tactical
planning, execution of key initiatives and continuous reflection, all guided by constant feedback from current
research and ongoing consultation.

Parasport in Ontario - A Legacy Begins
In 2015 the Toronto Parapan Am Games brought excitement and engagement in parasport to the GTA, Ontario and
the rest of Canada. Leading up to the Games, a group formed behind to scenes to leverage the momentum of the
Parapan Am Games. The goal was to build a legacy strategy that would create enhanced opportunities, exposure
and awareness for parasport in Ontario, leading to greater grassroots participation in sport by persons with a
disability. This group of parasport partners were able to influence cross-sectoral collaboration between recreation,
education and sport to achieve increased capacity and programming for parasport in a number of organizations

and municipalities. With the Games coming to a close almost a year ago, the Ontario parasport partners have
continued to engage with the sector including the government of Ontario but with a renewed goal: to build a
strategy and a shared understanding and commitment on a framework for parasport in Ontario. The parasport
partners are working towards implementing a strategy built around the objectives of the Ontario Game ON plan.
The process thus far has demonstrated collaboration and engagement between sectors and leadership on behalf of
a group of dedicated members of the Ontario parasport community.
The Data Revolution - How to Catapult Sport in Canada to a New Level
The world of Sport is experiencing a massive data revolution and yet, the amateur sport industry in Canada is
behind our international competitors in many ways. Collectively, the amateur sport landscape in Canada has not
embraced information as a source of learning despite using data in organizational silos. We must move the sport
system into the tech economy!
As a system, sport organizations in Canada have the opportunity to transform data into results. The question to be
answered is: How can Canadian Sport Organizations work together to catapult our global sport performance results
on the world’s field of play??
Kinduct Technologies, a Canadian, world leading data and analytics software provider in the human performance,
health and wellness sectors, will demonstrate how data can be utilized to transform the Canadian sport industry.
Through thoughtful collaboration, Kinduct’s software solution can be used to collect, share, consolidate and
analyze data as a system. By breaking down silos and working together we can be a world leading sport country.
About Kinduct:

Personal Sport Record
The Personal Sport Record. Powerful Athletic Data in your hands. So many times we advocate the advancement of
athletic performance. Often, one thing is missing. Baseline data. If we do not have a baseline reference from where
the athlete is beginning, how can we apply the proper training principles to achieve excellence? When we do have
a baseline metric, we don't make it easy for the athlete to access, hence understand what he/she needs to do to
achieve the next level of excellence. How do they compare to the rest on their teams? What specific areas of
athletic or sport performance do they need to enhance. The Personal Sport record provides that and much, much
more.
Long-Term Athlete Development Philosophy in Practice at School
In 2010 Ridley College set itself on a course to evolve its belief in quality daily physical activity. With the
introduction of Long-Term Athlete Development materials in all sports and the growing need for physical literacy
development in our communities, Ridley has continued to push itself to "Nurture Excellence" by aligning with best
practices in sport development and lead the charge where the vast majority of our children can be reached, in
school. This fall Ridley has re-imagined its introduction to competition model at the under 12 level. This relies on
the best practices for skill development outlined in the Long-Term Athlete/Player Development documents for
soccer, basketball, volleyball, flag rugby and running. This philosophical change from traditional sport to small-sided
games and focus on skill development rather than win/loss outcome has not only challenged the status quo inside
our own community with parents and students, but within our larger provincial sport association as well. We
believe that creating a culture where everyone gets a chance to play and improve will mean even stronger teams
and a more engaged athletic population in our not so distance future.

experiences that keep children in sport, and ultimately resulting in a higher quality of sport programming in Canada.
Responsible Coaching
The Responsible Coaching Movement (RCM) is a multi-phase system-wide movement, coordinated by the Coaching
Association of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport that has the potential to affect all sport organizations
and coaches. The RCM is the result of extensive ongoing consultation with the Canadian Sport Community. These
consultations will guide the different phases of the RCM that will address the role coaches play with issues relating to
the health and safety of athletes, both on and off the field of play.
1. 8 Years of Competition Restructuring - Speed Skating Canada's Experience
Speed Skating Canada was an early adopter of the Competition Review process. A thorough review was conducted
and radical changes recommended. A new national competition structure was implemented in 2011 for the Train
to Train and Train to Compete skaters. National competition was eliminated for Learn to Train skaters. Six years
later, the system continues to evolve.
There has been compromise on some issues and no compromise on others. Lessons have been learned, mistakes
have been made and the future holds more challenges. In this past season, record numbers of Train to Train
athletes participated in year ending national competitions. The Age Class Long Track event is now too popular and
needs to be changed.
A survey was conducted to gauge satisfaction levels and the results were revealing. This and other data will help us
plan improvements for the future.
A lot has happened in 8 years. How do we keep the competition system moving forward? How do we introduce
more meaningful competition at all levels? What do we do with all the recommendations that have not been
implemented?

In Pursuit of Officiating Excellence: Get Them Involved, Establish Performance Standards, and Value
Sports officials (e.g., referees, umpires, judges, etc.) play an important role in providing structured sport
opportunities for athletes from the grassroots to the elite levels. Their function in enforcing rules, standardizing
competitions, and keeping sport safe for participants improves the quality of sport, mitigates the risk of injury, and
provides the basis for positive sport experiences. However, attracting and retaining individuals in officiating roles is
difficult.
Attrition (or dropout) from the officiating ranks is recognized as a significant sport management problem. In
Canada, this represents an annual forfeiture of thousands of hours and millions of dollars in lost training costs and,
more importantly, the loss of developed skill and expertise. This limits the size of the talent pool from which
individuals are identified to pursue officiating at the highest levels.
In this session, we highlight the findings of several recent investigations (Forbes & Livingston, 2013, 2017;
Livingston & Forbes, 2016) of amateur sports officials in Canada. Specifically, we will examine (a) why individuals
enter into officiating, and (b) their changing motivations over time based on age, gender, sport category, and
experiences in urban versus rural environments. Amateur sports officials who continue in the activity are resilient
and motivated to engage over the long term. Persistence, however, appears to be mitigated by the level of
perceived organizational support (POS) that they receive from officiating administrators, game assignors, and
members of the sport community in general. Females also experience officiating differently than their male
counterparts.
The Ontario Soccer Association's Long Term Officiating Development Program embraces the key concepts of POS
and provides a best practice guideline for other sport organizations and practitioners to follow.

cognitive training looks like, and how this fits with concepts of physical literacy development. The connection
between learning, creativity and risk will be explored to answer questions like, "can we help build more creative
athletes?" and "what are the right kinds of risk, at the right times, to optimize learning?" Think some (risky) new

Sharing Dance: Changing Paradigms and Delivering Movement through Digital Media
"If you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one
of four questions. When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by
stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?" --Angeles Arrien
Dance is a fundamental expression of humanity; an organic communication of individuality and collective culture
that traces back as far as recorded history. So, why is it that so many people today would say “I don’t dance” or
worse yet “I can’t dance”? The image that dominates is that of an elite Eurocentric art form. However, when
viewed through a Physical Literacy lens, dance is a unique and holistic physical activity that fosters expression,
collaboration and creativity.
We will present Sharing Dance’s alignment with Long-Term Athlete Development framework, discuss our initial
focus on FUNdamentals and Active for Life, and share the core values that informed the development and
implementation of online systems for the following programs:
Dance in the Classroom
A suite of free bilingual online resources, providing high-quality, creative, dance activities, including downloadable
lesson plans and music. We will:
Share the development process of our first iteration of resources (videos, lesson plans and downloadable music
content for junior grades) with a focus on the benefits and challenges of online delivery. View resource here:
https://nbscc.brightspace.com/
Give a short active demonstration of a warm-up activity.
Discuss of the next phase of development including pilot testing and the creation of games-based dance resources
designed for after-school and recreational programming.
Dancing with Parkinson’s and Movement to Music at Baycrest Hospital
These highly-focused programs have given us the opportunity to examine how dance can benefit aging Canadians
in a number of ways. We will:
Report initial findings from research partners on the specific ways that dance is enhancing physical and emotional
well-being for aging populations
Discuss how we will leverage our digital platform for ongoing professional development, and increase participation
through courses and live streamed events.
The overarching goal of Sharing Dance is to break down philosophical, cultural and financial barriers providing
access to quality, fun and engaging dance activities. Helping the young and young-at-heart learn to dance and learn
through dance.

Developing Better People and Better Performers
When considering the characteristics of high-performance athletes, there are a few that usually come to mind (e.g.,
perfectionism, unrelenting standards, and being critical of one’s own performances). Despite these characteristics
being maladaptive and a source of common psychological issues outside of sport, there’s a belief in the sport
community that these characteristics in high doses are important and in some cases necessary to achieve top-level
performances. As such, coaches and sport stakeholders often encourage and reward these characteristics early on
in athlete development, often without considering the impact this has on the psychosocial development of these
athletes and their sport experiences.
With the recent creation and implementation of the Long-Term Athlete Development framework, many sport
organizations have shifted their values and missions towards holistic athlete development. Organizations now
recognize the importance of emphasizing not only great performances in sport, but also the need for teaching core
values such as commitment and integrity, training essential life skills, and developing strong character. However,
while coaches at all levels get considerable training in how to instruct the technical and tactical elements of sport,
they often receive little guidance on how to develop many of these “soft” skills. Coaches must continue to be
empowered to positively influence the cognitive, social, and emotional development of their athletes. Surprisingly
by doing so, coaches will also contribute to athletes’ best performances.
Through reflection exercises and critical discussions, coaches and youth sport program stakeholders will be
empowered to consider their own values, and the impact they may have on the cognitive, social, and emotional
development of their athletes. Participants will leave with a newfound understanding of the impact of the sport
system on young athletes during critical periods of development, and will be provided with tools to help them
reflect on their work in this area.

F1 How to Make Physical Literacy Matter: Everything You Need to Know About Advancing Physical Literacy
The RBC Learn to Play Project is helping Canada's children and youth develop the confidence, motivation and skills to
enable them to play, and become happy, healthy and active for life. At the centre is a grants program focused on
improving the delivery of quality sport programming, and supporting the development and implementation of physical
literacy principles in local organizations and communities across Canada. Leadership Grants ($10,001 to $25,000) have
been awarded to community groups developing or implementing action plans to transform the way sport and physical
activities are planned and delivered. This presentation will describe the results of findings from the first year of RBC
Learn to Play with a focus on the evidence and learnings gained from the key themes from a case-study of leadership
grantees from multiple perspectives. Specifically, the presentation will showcase themes emerging from the case-study
including the impact of partnerships and collaborations in program delivery; importance of mentorship and supports
provided to grantees; and use of formal and informal learning strategies in the success of their programs. Four unique
initiatives in different areas of Canada funded through the grants will be highlighted to showcase the diversity of the
initiatives working to improve physical literacy in community, and their learnings to make their efforts a success.
Presenters will represent different perspectives and share their experiences as evaluator(s), mentor(s) and grantee(s)
with an opportunity for discussion and debate. Facilitators to the success of these initiatives that aim to develop and
implement physical literacy will be emphasized to advance efforts in other communities across Canada.

Developing Physical Literacy - Second Edition
International thinking about physical literacy has evolved considerably since the release of the original "Developing

that is acquired prior to the onset of the adolescent growth sport. This change in thinking has profound
implications for how Physical Literacy is thought of within Long-Term Athlete Development. The presentation will
explore this change in thinking, and will provide participants the opportunity to question the authors, and discuss
how this new approach to physical literacy should be reflected in sport-specific Long-Term Athlete Development
frameworks.

Leadership that Nurtures Excellence: Best practice for Train to Win leaders inspired by Olympic Medal-Winning
Leadership research. The purpose of the research that will structure this interactive session was to develop and indepth description of coach leadership in Canadian Olympic Medal-Winning sport. Semi-structured personal
interviews with ten coaches and twelve athletes who together won gold or silver medals in the winter Olympic
Games were conducted. Through including both coaches' and athletes' perspectives in this research, a nuanced and
complex portrait of leadership was shared. Very strong consensus between athlete and coach descriptions of
leadership was found in this study. Interpretive thematic analysis of the interviews revealed four major themes.
Leadership was found to be demanding, relational, culture-conscious and solution-focused across coaches and
sports. Participants in this session will be given time to reflect on and discuss both findings and recommendations
for sport leaders striving to nurture excellence in their specific context.

Values-based High Performance Sport: Olympism at its Best
Based on current research this presentation addresses how Canadian sport can systematically foster an
environment that nurtures values-based sport in tandem with high performance excellence and podium
performances. Considering the roles of sport organizations, policy makers and practitioners, best practices will be
highlighted and approaches for improving this vital aspect of quality sport will be considered. In an ideal sport
model personal excellence exists alongside performance excellence and life skills development occurs within the
sport experience in an athlete-centred manner (Miller & Kerr, 2002), and this is possible if sport organizations are
held responsible for developing better people, in addition to developing skilled athletes (Fraser-Thomas, Cote &
Deakin, 2005). Positive sport experiences that include psychosocial development also support improved

performance outcomes through increased long-term participation, enjoyment, intrinsic motivation, and
competitive spirit, and by reducing burnout and dropout (Côté & Handcock, 2016). Motivated and skilled youth will
always strive toward dreams of sporting excellence. A more systemic approach to values development in
conjunction with world-class performance can improve the entire Canadian sport system. International podium
performances can and should be achieved through a values-based and ethical approach (CSP, 2012), which has the
potential to influence Canadian culture for the better, both inside and outside of sport.
A Case of Innovation in Community Sport
Community sport clubs are the foundation of the Canadian sport system, providing grassroots programs that range
from physical literacy to athletic excellence. Yet they are facing increasing demands and pressures from their
members and the local and broader sport communities they serve. Some clubs are turning to innovative practices
to meet these challenges, and it is important to understand how they respond to both pressures and opportunities
to innovate, and barriers to innovation. This presentation highlights the findings of a longitudinal, real-time
investigation of innovation in two sport clubs. One club, in the sport of synchronized swimming, partnered with
another traditionally rival club to establish a joint elite program for junior swimmers. A second club, representing
minor hockey, created two higher level teams from five distinct districts in one regional area. Both case studies
spanned an 18-month period during which engagement in what the clubs deemed to be innovative initiatives
around nurturing excellence were considered, adopted, and implemented. Comparisons and contrasts between the
two rich stories of innovation in these clubs provide important insight into the factors that impact, and are
impacted by, innovation adoption for sport development.

High Performance Community Sport? How to Get a Grip
The number of local sport academies, elite programs, high performance leagues and "cradle to grave" club
programs is growing, and the cost of sport participation is increasing. Local sport organizations are becoming more
commercialized and professionalized. At the same time, Long-Term Athlete Development calls for early multilateral multi-sport development and later specialization, and research suggests us that early specialization and
increased performance pressure from an early age makes young athletes more likely to drop out or suffer overuse
injuries. Can these be reconciled? Are community sport programs led by trained professionals the pathway to
higher quality, or does "high performance community sport" lead to unintended consequences, perhaps driving
sport out of reach for an increasing number of Canadians?

"GOING FOR IT" Bringing Quality Sport to Life from the Grassroots Up
Ethical Literacy Physical Literacy = Quality Sport for Life
How the intentional integration of True Sport Principles into your Physical Literacy programming makes a real
difference.
If we want sport to live up to its potential, we need to be intentional about ensuring that it reflects our shared
values, and that we create a quality sport environment. The True Sport Principles plus the building blocks of
Physical Literacy, provide the opportunity to exercise this intention - to transform our desire for good sport into
action.
This session will present, via 2 presenters, practical examples that have been developed been using the deliberate
integration of the True Sport Principles into the fabric of Physical Literacy programming. Presenters will share
insights; including challenges, lessons learned, and short-term successes from the integration into sport policy and
programs for the Grassroots, PSO and NSO level.
There will be opportunities for discussion as well as example activities that attendees can use with their own
members to help others incorporate the True Sport Long-Term Athlete Development Matrix 2.0 and Physical
Literacy into their programming and strategic planning.
Sport Asset Map - How Technology Can Drive Excellence
There is limited access to information about Ottawa's sport 'assets' (including facilities, programs, events,
organizations, training, certification, volunteer opportunities, etc.). This is hindering Ottawa's opportunity to
increase economic development through sport tourism, develop quality sport leaders, increase awareness for
participation in indoor/outdoor opportunities for physical activity and sport, especially for representatives of

priority populations, and improve individual health and community health.
One of the biggest challenges in bidding for sport events is the lack of information for event organizers regarding
sport facilities. In responding to a sport bid, one of the requirements is to provide detailed information regarding a
sport facility including the equipment, number of change rooms, dimensions of the playing surface, etc. This
information only exists in an ad hoc basis for sport facilities within Ottawa.
In addition to the lack of information regarding sport facilities, there is also a lack of information regarding sport
programs available at facilities. This issue has been highlighted by the sport community and by newcomers to
Ottawa who wish to become engaged in sport programming but cannot find information related to a
program/facility.
The Sport Asset Map project was created to provide sport information to the general public through a sport map -a
systematic approach to identifying all sport resources within the City of Ottawa including detailed information
regarding facilities and available programs.
This discussion will outline the project and its goals, and discuss the lessons learned in building this asset.

Markham in Motion
Markham is Canada's 16th largest city and among the most diverse. Markham in Motion set out to integrate
physical literacy into recreation programming while bringing together education, public health, sport groups and
recreation to enhance physical literacy across the community. Our steps included obtaining Council endorsement
for a resolution supporting physical literacy for all residents, to our knowledge the first of its kind in Canada. An
innovative racquet sport program was created to bring together seniors and youth in an 8 week in-school pilot. This
successful program was praised by school administrators, teachers, students and parents. In addition, 300+
summer camp staff received training on integrating physical literacy and all recreation program instructors will
receive the same training. We are also adding movement preparation warm-up to every recreation program
including non-active programs (e.g. cooking classes, math camp). Learn how we were able to create programming
that met the needs of a highly diverse population and how the support of Markham Council helped open doors to a
more physically literate Markham.

OneAbility - Effective Demonstration of a Collective Impact Model
In early 2015, OneAility was born as a collective impact model approach was taken in Greater Victoria to improve
the programming and services around physical activity and sport for individuals with a disability. OneAbility had
brought together organizations in Southern Vancouver Island and other parts of BC from various sectors that work
with persons' with a disability in areas of inclusion, physical activity, and sport. Through open, honest
communication and a desire to collaborate, OneAbility has become a hub of knowledge, resources, and
opportunity for inclusive Physical Activity in its many forms. OneAbility has been a catalyst for collaboration, new
programming, and innovation, and they hope to share this model as an opportunity for other regions to also
consider as a mechanism for system alignment.
