On behalf of the Yukon Aboriginal Sport Circle, 2007 Canada Winter Games Host Society, Yukon Government and the Royal Bank Foundation please find below the documentation and applications for the 2007 Canada Winter Games Aboriginal Legacy Fund. As a commitment made by the 2007 Canada Winter Games Host Society; the 2007 Canada Winter Games Aboriginal Sport Legacy Fund will be managed by the Yukon Foundation and will function as a program under the Yukon Aboriginal Sport Circle. While the Fund will help deliver the overall objectives of the Yukon Aboriginal Sport Circle it will have three key objectives:
-
To support the development of Team Yukon athletes in preparing to attend the North American Indigenous Games;
-
To develop and support individual aboriginal athletes at the North American Indigenous Games, Territorial/provincial, college/university, national/international level and athletes that pursue sport endeavors outside the Yukon that are at a higher level/age than what is offered in the Yukon;
-
To build capacity in Aboriginal organizations and communities
As such the fund will support the above objectives through funding of two programs, Athlete Support and Capacity Development
The Yukon Aboriginal Sport Circle would like to thank everyone who helped in the process to develop the 2007 Canada Winter Games Aboriginal Legacy Fund and YASC looks forward to receiving the first Applications by the deadline of October 31st, 2010.
