True Sport is about fair play, respect, and community spirit. By following the True Sport Principles, we can ensure every game, practice, and event builds positive experiences for everyone involved.
The True Sport movement helps Canadians create safe, welcoming, and meaningful sports experiences. It’s built on seven principles that promote fairness, inclusion, and fun, which align with our vision for physical literacy across the North.
Long-Term Development (LTD) is a framework that helps people of all ages enjoy sport and physical activity. By focusing on the right skills at the right time, LTD supports lifelong participation, health, and well-being.
LTD recognizes that physical literacy develops over a lifetime. It provides guidelines for introducing, growing, and refining skills in ways that are age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and fun.
Indigenous LTD blends the principles of long-term development with Indigenous values, traditions, and ways of knowing. It respects the role of community, land, and culture in shaping physical activity and well-being.
This approach was created to ensure that Indigenous Peoples have access to sport and activity programs that reflect their traditions, strengths, and priorities. It’s about creating pathways where culture and movement grow together.
