5. Conclusion

As the federal government Branch responsible for sport, Sport Canada supports the achievement of excellence and the development of the Canadian sport system to strengthen the unique contribution that sport makes to Canadian identity, culture and society. Sport Canada recognizes that, for the goals of the Canadian Sport Policy to be achieved, the specific values, barriers and realities of Aboriginal Peoples need to be identified and addressed. This policy aims to drive the actions necessary to create and maintain an inclusive Canadian sport system that supports Aboriginal participation in sport from playground to podium.
