FROM THE CHAIR OF SPORT
NOVA SCOTIA
Sport brings people together. In communities around
the world people of all ages and all abilities play sports.
It connects us to each other and is an important part
of developing our character as healthy, productive and
happy human beings.
Here at Sport Nova Scotia we work each day to build
sport in this province. We whole-heartedly believe in
the extensive benefits of participation – enhanced
academic success, economic growth, better mental and
physical health, and promotion of inclusion for new
Canadians to name just a few.
Sport Nova Scotia had numerous new successes
this year from a national partnership deal with the
Toronto Blue Jays Care Foundation and KidSport to
our Community Sport Development Coordinators
organizing a coaching series in the Highland Region,
helping to establish a new gymnastics club in the Valley
and a #SportsDayinColchester in the Fundy region.
We continued to build on our past successes with
events such as the 2nd annual Corporate Games event,
the Sport Makes A Difference Campaign, the Milk Sport
Fairs and the Manulife Dragon Boat Festival.
All of these successes are a result of cooperation
and collaboration with our partners, partnerships
with our members, our sponsors, governments and
communities across Nova Scotia. Each year, we talk
about how grateful we are for these partnerships and,
to be honest, without them we could not build sport in
this province. Perhaps that is one of the most important
messages this year – sport can only grow and succeed
if we work together.
The sport system in Nova Scotia is dynamic, extensive
and growing. Sport is making a difference in the lives
of thousands of Nova Scotians and I look forward to
the coming year as Sport Nova Scotia works with our
members, our communities and our sponsors to provide
even more opportunities.

FROM THE CEO
Each year I am amazed at the positive changes we see
in the sport sector; and, this year is no different. New
initiatives combined with a strong foundation of existing
programming are leading to a substantial increase in the
quality and quantity of sport opportunities especially at
the community level.
Our community sport development coordinators
located across Nova Scotia, and our provincial sport
organizations continued working with many traditional
and non-traditional sport groups. The result – over 50
new program opportunities. These programs, along
with the work of community coaches and sport leaders,
make us confident that our collaborative approach is
key to providing more sustainable sport opportunities.
We continued to work closely with the Department
of Health and Wellness and Recreation Nova Scotia
on implementing the principals of long-term athlete
development at every level of the sport system. We
know the work done in this area by our provincial sport
organizations, along with so many community groups,
will lead to even better programs and more people
participating in sport for life.
The Support4Sport program, funded by the Nova Scotia
Provincial Lotteries and Casinos Corporation, remains
a vital element in all of our work. The program funds
all aspects of sport. From grassroots programming
to coaching, officiating, and our high-performance
systems, Support4Sport remains a game changer for
sport in Nova Scotia. Combine this program with our
KidSport, Milk Sport Fairs, and parasport programming
and we are opening more and more doors for all Nova
Scotians to access sport.
4
Earlier I mentioned our collaborative approach being
key to our success and this is evident in our partnerships.
We have so many partners who deserve our thanks and
our recognition. Doctors Nova Scotia, Dairy Farmers
of Canada, Ricoh Canada, Manulife, Subway, Karbon,
Canadian Tire Jumpstart, The Chronicle Herald, CTV
and C100/101.3 The Bounce, are just some of those
who make our programming possible.
Our positive working relationship with our government
partners also remains a key part of our success. We
owe a special thanks to the Active Living Branch of the
Department of Health and Wellness. They continue
to work with us in the true spirit of partnership and
teamwork.
Finally, provincial sport organizations continue to
be drivers of sport development. We are grateful for
their efforts, and thankful that we have such talented
and dedicated staff and volunteers to lead these
organizations. We are equally grateful to our own
volunteer board and Sport Nova Scotia staff.
There is little doubt that those in the “sport industry”
are passionate about their work and more than ever
before, our sport system is being built on partnerships.
Local clubs, community groups, as well as provincial and
national organizations are all working together in the
delivery of sport. Whether they are traditional or nontraditional partners, government or non-government
organizations, there have never been so many people
and associations involved in and believing in sport.

DEVELOPING SPORT
Sport Development at Sport Nova Scotia means many
things. Its means providing the opportunity for people to
improve their lives through sport regardless of age, ability
or financial means. It means helping up and coming
athletes reach their dreams. And, it means helping
communities strengthen their economic and social fabric.
Sport Nova Scotia fosters sport development through a
variety of programs including ParaSport initiatives, the
Community Sport Development Coordinator program,
the Provincial Sport Organization Administrative
Coordinator Program and initiatives supporting Canadian
Sport for Life.
Our Parasport initiatives continued to grow this year
with support from our partners at the Canadian Sport
Centre Atlantic and Department of Health and Wellness.
Programs such as learn to sledge, mini wheelchair
basketball and wheelchair basketball were important to
teaching youth, with and without disabilities, physical
literacy and nurturing the joy of play. Para-specific
equipment was also purchased and linked directly to local
programs and schools to increase participation numbers.
With this level of support and continued implementation
of the principles of the Canadian Sport for Life movement,
we will continue to produce quality parasport experiences
across Nova Scotia.
a coaching symposium, which is now being used as a
model for other provinces.
The Community Sport Development Coordinators
program is also a critical part of fostering the love of
sport in Nova Scotian communities. Operating in all
six regions of the province, the coordinators worked
with community sport organizations to promote the
Canadian Sport4Life initiative. Offering sport summits
and consultations with community sport and other “likeminded” organizations, the coordinators are building and
strengthening grassroots programs.
Our successes this year includes the Fun Van project,
which reached over 10,000 community members with
interactive multisport activities; a new gymnastics club
in Digby and Claire; school children experiencing rugby
and tennis led by Rugby Canada and its “Rookie Rugby”
initiative; development of sledge hockey on the South
Shore and the rebirth of ringette in Pictou county through
a try-it out program.
Finally, we developed a tailored-made Nova Scotia
Canadian Sport For Life plan that aligned the work of
key stakeholders around long term athlete development
and the national Canadian Sport for Life program.
The Provincial Sport Organization Coordinator program
continued to be an important part of helping sports
manage, develop and operate effective organizations.
This year for example, the dedication of the Coordinators
helped Diving Nova Scotia double its membership with
the addition of the Canada Games Centre Diving Club.
Row Nova Scotia was able to support the opening of a
new club in Lunenburg and the Archers Association held

SPORT FUNDING
Funding to groups and individuals is an important
part of the support Sport Nova Scotia provides to our
members. Access to funding is what helps to support
the development of a diverse sport system in the
province, to encourage participation and development
of talent all of which contributes to the health and
wellbeing of individuals.
Funding can be accessed through more than 15
different programs all of which are administered by
Sport Nova Scotia.
The Support4Sport Program was introduced by the
Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation
in 2006. Funds are raised through the sale of branded
ticket lottery products. Each time a Support4Sport
ticket is sold, 100% of the proceeds go to this program.
Almost ten-years-old, Support4Sport has contributed
over $24 million to sport in Nova Scotia over the years.
In 2014-2015, over $3 million was raised to help
develop community and provincial sporting programs
and provide training and development opportunities
for athletes, coaches, and officials.
KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization
that provides families-in-need assistance covering
registration fees or equipment costs for children aged
18 and under. Sport Nova Scotia is a provincial chapter
with local chapters across this province.
6
Here in Nova Scotia, over 16,000 Nova Scotian children
live in families receiving income assistance making this
program essential to helping children.
Managed and operated in Nova Scotia by Sport Nova
Scotia since 1994, KidSport Nova Scotia has assisted
over 20,000 children totaling over $4.5 million.
KidSport Nova Scotia provides funding of up to $300
per year per child.
The Nova Scotia Department of Health and
Wellness continued as the primary funding partner
providing $405,000 and through a partnership with
KidSport Canada, The Hyundai Hockey Helpers program
continued providing almost $35,000. A national
partnership with the Toronto Blue Jays’ “JaysCare”
foundation provided over $14,000 for baseball
applications and Canadian Tire Jumpstart provided
more than $34,000 for registration applications and
covered the cost of equipment purchases at Canadian
Tire stores. RBC Foundation provided $15,000 and
additional $117,523 was raised through donations
and charity of choice partnerships with organizations
such as Hockey Nova Scotia and Soccer Nova Scotia.
KidSport Nova Scotia also received in-kind support from
CTV, The Chronicle Herald, Bell Media (C100 and 101.3
The Bounce) and Outfront Media.
All of this support meant that this year over $515,000
was allocated to almost 2,000 children who were able
to benefit from the joys of sport.
EMPLOYMENT
ASSISTANCE
The Nova Scotia Amateur Sport Fund and the
Canada Games Legacy Program help community
sport organizations create or expand sustainable,
quality, participation-based sport programs. Big and
small grants are allocated through the Manulife Financial
Community Sport Grant and the Support4Sport Canada
Games Sport Equipment Grant.
Over $150,000 was allocated this year to more than
80 different projects across the province. An exciting
example of how this fund is supporting communities is
the Mabou Sailing and Boating Club. The sailing club
received almost $3,000 for infrastructure development
and boat equipment purchases with the goal of
teaching competitive and recreational sailing to youth
and adults.
Thanks to the partnership with Manulife Financial,
2011 Canada Games Host Society and the Nova Scotia
Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation, these
funding opportunities are available year after year
allowing for greater participation and experiences for
all Nova Scotians.
Our Subway Sportscape and Subway Sunsweep are
ready-made campaigns designed to help sport teams,
clubs and organizations raise money for their own
programs. Subway Sportscape tickets are available from
April until September. The Subway Sunsweep campaign
runs from September until March.
Groups sell the tickets keeping 75% of the revenue and
Sport Nova Scotia organizes everything else from start
to end – prizes, ticket printing, distribution of tickets to
selling representatives and the distribution of the prizes.
Over 150 groups leveraged these programs raising over
$140,000 for amateur sport.
This year, 13 events were supported through the
Provincial Championships Sponsorship Program,
which grants up to $1,000 to Provincial Sport
Organizations in return for official sponsorship
designation and benefits. The goal of the program
is simple: help our members provide quality sporting
events and broaden the awareness of amateur sport in
communities.
Finally, Sport Nova Scotia continued to offer the
Sport Travel Program to affliliated teams, clubs
and organizations throughout Nova Scotia. Through
partnerships with Porter Airlines, The Westin, Comfort
Inn, and Entrerprise Rent-A-Car the amateur sport
community receives the best rates and services for all
their “away” sporting events.

COACHING
The obvious role of a sport coach is to develop athletes
to their full potential. They help athletes improve skills,
create the right training environment and provide
encouragement. But coaches also have a fundamental
role in helping to build good character and foster good
sportsmanship in athletes, and they help to build sport.
This is why Sport Nova Scotia continued to invest in
coaching opportunities throughout the year.
This year, we developed a more personalized approach
to our coach support services. One-on-one individual
planning sessions were offered making this approach
a more effective way to influence coaching methods in
the province.
We worked with our members to develop provincial
sport organization coach development plans. Eighteen
members have completed and approved plans with
several others well underway.
The Podium Performance sessions maintained a strong
following with 145 coaches attending throughout
8
the year. We also offered a community-focused coach
education series and piloted it in the Highland region
with 60 community-level coaches participating. We
hope to expand this series to other regions in the
coming year.
The Advanced Coaching Diploma is the pinnacle
of a coaches’ education in the National Coaching
Certification Program. With the Advanced Coaching
Diploma coaches are recognized as being among the
most qualified coaches and leaders of athletes and
sport. This year, Advance Coaching Diploma program
completed its first two semesters with ten coach
candidates enrolled.
Developing female coaches is also a specific goal for
Sport Nova Scotia. This year, working with Volleyball
Nova Scotia, Soccer Nova Scotia, and Basketball Nova
Scotia, Sport Nova Scotia provided the first of a series
of workshops designed to support and promote female
coaches while encouraging collaboration with others.
SUPPORTING SPORT
Organizing special events is an important part of the
day-to-day activities at Sport Nova Scotia. Throughout
the year, events offer us the opportunity to promote
sport and share in the fun of sport with others while
other events allow us to fundraise for programs or
celebrate athletic successes.
Since its inception in 2002, the interactive Milk Sport
Fair has seen more than 59,000 students, teachers and
parents pass through its doors. This year, the Milk Sport
Fair returned to Amherst and for the first time visited
Bridgewater. More than 3,200 students participated in
this event through school field trips with each student
having the opportunity to try many sports.
Our 17th Manulife Dragon Boat Festival is a day full of
fun teamwork all in an effort to raise money for the
Nova Scotia Amateur Sport Fund. This year, thanks to
the support of our sponsors and participants, we raised
over $104,000 for the Sport Fund. It is the largest
fundraiser for the Sport Fund and a great opportunity
for our members to raise individual funds for their sport
all while having fun on the water.
The second annual Corporate Games provided
businesses with an opportunity to enjoy a fun-filled
day competing in activities, games and challenges, all
in support of amateur sport. With the emphasis on
fun and participation, teams competed in a series of
team-building events such as pizza box egg roll, segway
series and elephant march while raising over $35,000.
And, finally the Atlantic Coaches Conference had
another successful turn this year. Attended by 150
coaches from across Atlantic Canada, participants
were able to learn from Dr. Wade Gilbert, a world
renowned expert and coaching consultant with
the United States Olympic Committee, effective
coaching techniques and the importance of creating
the right environment. Participants also benefited
from a workshop led by Dr. Gilbert along with 25
over professional development sessions.

ADVOCATING
Advocating for sport in Nova Scotia takes many different
shapes and forms throughout the year. Every year, we
work with government, media, our members, and the
public to help us promote the benefits of sport and to
encourage sport for life.
Sport Quarterly, our 16-page supplement, is distributed
to 125,000 households and businesses throughout the
province thanks to our partnership with The Chronicle
Herald. In each edition, we tell the inspiring stories of
athletes and programs all in an effort to build awareness
of sport.
We use Scoreboard, our internal electronic newsletter,
to spread the word on important dates, news items
and up and coming events; while our lunchtime
Subway Series provides provincial sport organizations
with relevant information and tools to help them build
positive sport experiences for their members.
This year, our annual Sport Makes A Difference
campaign focused on improving the quality of the sport
experience. We encouraged adults to let kids be kids by
emphasizing the fun of sport. The message was simple
and directed to parents. The tagline “I love to watch
you play” was woven into a sport pledge and used to
10
remind parents of what their children really need from
adults when they play sports.
Through the use of digital media such as Facebook,
Twitter, and YouTube, and with supporting traditional
media such as television, radio, billboards and posters,
the campaign encouraged parents in Nova Scotia to
pledge their support to simply enjoy watching their
child play, letting the coaches coach and respecting
officials.
We reached over 30,000 people through Twitter, almost
3,800 on Facebook and thousands more thanks to our
media sponsors. By the end of the campaign, hundreds
had personally signed on to take the pledge.
And, during the last year, Sport Nova Scotia continued
to build on its government relations. Provincially, we
advocated for the expansion of bicycle trails, supported
accessibility legislation and collaborated with Doctors
Nova Scotia and the Department of Health and Wellness
to increase Nova Scotians’ physical activity levels; while
federally, we continued to work with Sport Matters
and other like-minded organizations to advocate for
sport funding, support Sports Day in Canada and
International Day for Sport for Development and Peace.
CELEBRATING SUCCESS
Striving for excellence and celebrating individual
successes – big and small – are encouraged through our
sport recognition programs. Sport Nova Scotia has four
programs: Ricoh Sport Awards, Sport Chek Athlete/Team
of the Month, The Chronicle Herald Rising Star of Week
and Nova Trophy Community Sport program - all designed
to celebrate success and inspire future athletes.
The long standing Sport Chek Athlete/Team of the
Month programs continued to be a popular program
to honour athletic achievements. This year, 38
teams and individual achievements were recognized
throughout the year. The program is an important part
of encouraging youth in sport and celebrating up and
coming athletes.
In its 18th year this year, the Ricoh Sport Awards
honoured the most accomplished athletes, coaches,
officials, sponsors and volunteers from across the
province. Over 530 people attended the celebration
and more than 200 awards were presented to more
than 40 different sports.
Finally, our Nova Trophy Community Sport program
continued as another way for provincial sport
organizations to recognize the dedication and
commitment of community coaches, officials, sponsors
and volunteers.

OUR PARTNERS
A partnership is created by individual organizations
believing they can better achieve their goals by working
together and here at Sport Nova Scotia we benefit
every day from the partnerships we have fostered.
The Department of Health and Wellness remained a
major funding partner of Sport Nova Scotia and the
largest financial contributor to KidSport. Doctors Nova
Scotia continued as the presenting sponsor of Sport
Nova Scotia while Ricoh continued as title sponsor of
the Ricoh Sport Awards this year. And, the Nova Scotia
Provincial Lotteries and Casinos Corporation remained
vital to the success of Support4Sport.
Manulife continued as the title sponsor of the Manulife
Dragon Boat Festival and Dairy Farmers of Canada
continued as the title sponsor of our Milk Sport Fairs.
We also benefit from the long-standing support of local
media companies: Bell Media (CTV, C100, 101.3 The
Bounce), Outfront Media and The Chronicle Herald.
This year, we once again had many partnership renewals
and a few new partnerships. A new partnership with
Karbon provided significant in-kind support to Team
Nova Scotia. Subway, D’Costa Marketing, Comfort
Inn and Manulife Bank all continued as major
sponsors. While, Canadian Tire Jumpstart remained
a major supporter of KidSport, providing funding for
