Our Vision Statement That all Nova Scotians will attain better health and a sense of achievement through active participation in recreational and competitive sport experiences throughout their lives. 2 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. Barbara B. Pike - Chair, Board of Directors Sport Nova Scotia 3 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. Jamie Ferguson - CEO Sport Nova Scotia 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 5 3m $ SUPPORT4SPORT PROGRAM THE SUPPORT4SPORT PARTICIPATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PROVIDED $468,000 IN FUNDING TO 46 MEMBERS. THE CANADA GAMES PROGRAM FUNDED 41 WINTER AND SUMMER SPORTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $525,000. THE COACH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM PROVIDED $541,360 TO SUPPORT 17 FULL-TIME PROVINCIAL COACH/TECHNICAL DIRECTOR POSITIONS. THE PROVINCIAL SPORT ORGANIZATION PROJECTS PROGRAM ALLOCATED $279,000 IN FUNDING TO 37 MEMBERS. THE ATHLETE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDED $370,750 FOR 158 ATHLETES. 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. 7 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. 9 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. 11 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Sport Nova Scotia operates numerous administrative services that are available to our members such as printing, mail/courier, computer networking, telecommunication, office space, meeting facilities, equipment rentals, desktop publishing, financial services, and general administrative services. Sport Nova Scotia is contracted by the provincial government to provide administrative support to provincial sport and recreation organizations. Sport Nova Scotia provides subsidized services to active and associate members, as well as recreation organizations approved by the Provincial Government. In the fiscal period 2014/15, 75 organizations were eligible for subsidies. The pie chart below shows the sources of revenue for the Administrative Centre. ADMINISTRATIVE CENTRE REVENUE SOURCES 2014/15 Memberships: $9,500 Sales/ Service: $191,492 Provincial Gov: $330,000 12 The policy of Sport Nova Scotia is that costs associated with operating the Administrative Centre will be set at a level that ensures the operations of the centre, at a minimum, break even; and that any surplus will be used for the purpose of providing administrative services. In fiscal period 2014/15, the Administrative Centre realized a surplus of $8,900 that will be added to the accumulated surplus. In 2014/15 surplus funds in the amount of $76,000 were spent on capital renovations to the fourth floor administration offices. 36% 62% Sport Nova Scotia Statement of Revenue and Expenditures 2014-20152013-20142012-20132011-2012 2010-11 2009-10 2008-09 Revenue: Building $503, 635 $616,515 $609,068 $615,066 $583,171 $553,844 $508,914 Provincial Funding 1,783,753 1,921,839 1,621,347 1,514,916 1,644,186 1,518,788 1,300,743 Federal Funded Programs 12,262 144,232 192,675 268,965 NSPLCC Funding 3,317,828 3,185,003 2,919,585 2,543,959 2,327,802 2,195,783 1,787,379 Programs 1,738,670 1,709,027 1,621,974 1,541,679 1,768,460 1,564,677 1,442,072 Membership Fees 18,650 18,275 18,400 18,000 18,500 18,525 18,350 Interest/Other 18,226 18,037 16,019 16,627 9,454 1,112 19,086 7,380,762 7,468,696 6,806,393 6,262,509 6,495,805 6,045,404 5,345,509 Expenditures: Building 423,150 362,794 343,616 340,825 336,215 312,655 328,717 Operating 845,723 937,283 784,305 747,112 699,178 723,233 702,496 Programs 2,740,942 2,918,409 2,460,191 2,385,083 2,816,761 2,565,804 2,316,527 NSPLCC Allocations 3,317,828 3,185,003 2,919,585 2,543,959 2,327,802 2,195,783 1,787,379 7,327,643 7,403,489 6,507,697 6,016,979 6,179,956 5,797,475 5,135,119 Surplus of revenue over expenditures before other items 53,119 65,207 298,696 245,530 315,849 247,929 210,390 Other Items: Amortization 113,66194,64890,56397,06291,191 82,282 74,480 Surplus of revenue over expenditures ($60,542) ($29,441) $208,133 $148,468 $224,658 $165,647 $135,910 National Sport Trust Fund (Nova Scotia Amateur Sport Fund) Statement of Revenue and Expenditures 2014201320122011201020092008 Revenue: Donations - Hfx.

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.
