It is hard to believe that another year has gone by, with hopefully a long list of positive success stories for our members.
We are asking for your continued support in promoting sport development in Oakville by renewing your organization’s membership in Sport Oakville for 2012.
Sport Oakville is committed to encouraging individuals and organizations within our community to join and become active participants in our partnership. This will provide Sport Oakville and its members with a broader perspective on the issues and opportunities within our community, and through increased representation, we as an organization can continue to add value and offer enhanced services to both our members and the community. Additional information on SportOakville, our benefits, services and current membership is provided on our web site at http://sportoakville.ca
Sport Recognition Awards (SRA)
A key benefit in Sport Oakville membership is that it allows your organization to nominate members for recognition at our annual “Sport Recognition Awards” event each fall. These awards recognize your athletes, coaches, teams and volunteers in the community. The 2011 October award event was once again highly successful and well attended with our members recognizing their award recipients. Plans are already underway for the 2012 event. Don’t miss your chance to participate and recognize some of your members.
