Ontario Sport Network
Ontario Sport Network has been setting the tone for accountability within the non-profit sport sector as well as accountability to the sector since 1998. As a function of building capacity, Ontario Sport Network remains a strong voice to both funding partners and government.
Our growing network of members reaches all aspects of the non-profit sport sector and our ability to respond to and engage with the sport sector as a collective makes membership with Ontario Sport Network a valuable and essential part of effective sport management and advocacy.
WE ADVOCATE
Understanding the complexities of the non-profit sport sector is not easy unless you are fully immersed in it. Ontario Sport Network assists government in understanding the concerns of the sport sector with respect to policy, programming, capacity and funding. We speak as the collective voice of the sport sector and act as an agent for change.
WE ENGAGE
Ontario Sport Network seeks out opportunities to engage within the sport sector and outside of it. We participate on committees to develop cross-sector programs and resources and works with members to educate, and share information. On your behalf, we communicate with funding partners, members, sponsors, government, non-profit groups and other key stakeholders as a method of enhancing the profile of sport beyond our sector. We bring our members together to share information, generate ideas and collectively develop positions on various topics. We are the only organization to conduct on-going research across the sport sector in Ontario through surveys, focus groups and interviews to understand the sector’s position on issues and trends that directly impact the sport sector. All research is shared with members to help develop a better sense of the relevant issues and our collective positions.
WE PROMOTE
To better facilitate our mission, Ontario Sport Network works not only to promote sport across Ontario, but to promote our Members and the work they are doing both on the "field" and off, to elevate sport and make Ontarians more active.
