Celebrate Contribution:
Did you know that no other sector engages more volunteers than sport and recreation? With over 5.3 million Canadians volunteering as coaches, officials, and organizers, it is obvious just how much we value sport and the countless benefits it can provide to its participants. We encourage all True Sport members to continue to find ways to give back to their local sport system and thank everyone who donates their time to helping improve the sport experience in their community.
Please take a look at the NEW True Sport Website! We have done some spring cleaning – how do you like it? Tell us what you think: info@truesport.ca or @truesportpur
