Community Wellness Strategy

In October 2007, Richmond City Council endorsed the Community of Excellence for Sport and Wellness initiative. This is a partnership-based initiative aimed at positioning Richmond to be the best place for residents to play and achieve their highest potential, while also being a model for a ‘Sport for Life’ community in Canada and the world.

The PDF Document Richmond Community Wellness Strategy is one of four inter-related strategies that serve to achieve a Council-endorsed initiative: the Richmond Community of Excellence for Sport and Wellness. It outlines an integrated holistic, collaborative wellness strategy for Richmond; one which builds on our strengths, and identifies and addresses the gaps.

The strategy was created in cooperation with three local public agencies: the City of Richmond, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority and the Richmond School District and the strategy falls under the jurisdiction of all agencies and groups.


The other three strategies are:

  • Comprehensive Sports Development Strategy
  • Olympic and Paralympic Involvement & Legacy Strategy
  • Richmond Sport Tourism Strategy
