Sport for Life Strategy (2010-2015)
Endorsed by Council in November 2010, the process of developing the Richmond Sport for Life Strategy (2010-2015) was a collaborative effort between the City and the various Richmond agencies and community organizations involved in the delivery of sports programs and services in Richmond. The vision outlined in the strategy is that, "All Richmond residents have access to a full range of opportunities in order to experience the passion and joy of participating in sport and physical activity. Richmond will have an integrated delivery of recreation, school physical education/athletics and community sport, to enable all citizens to reach their full potential within the ‘physical literacy’, ‘enhanced sport achievement’ and ‘active for life’ framework. Please email Eric Stepura with any comments or questions on the strategy.
