Why True Sport: When I was growing up, positive sport experiences gave me confidence, a circle of friends, and numerous life skills. As a teacher, sport helped me connect with and motivate students who were struggling in school. Now, as a parent, grandparent, and coach, I have seen good sport nurture community leaders, welcome newcomers to Canada, and build bridges of hope across cultural divides.
