The ASC's Mission

The Mission of the Aboriginal Sport Circle is to:
 
 
  • Support the revitalization of Aboriginal sport by promoting Indigenous games and promoting traditional and holistic approaches to amateur sport;
  • Promote a philosophy of Aboriginal culture and community development that encourages healthy lifestyles through sport, recreation, and fitness;
  • Help create and sustain an effective and accountable Aboriginal sport delivery system, which includes Provincial/Territorial Aboriginal Sport and Recreation Bodies, clubs, and leagues that are recognized and integrated into the mainstream sport system;
  • Prevent racism and promote gender equity and cultural values within both the Aboriginal and mainstream sport systems;
  • Provide a national and international voice in sport, fitness, culture, and recreation pursuits for the Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
