So What ! There is a readiness to move the action plans forward. This conference has been designed to build on what has already been done. Hopefully by the end of Sunday we will have some very clear responsibilities for collective action on agreed upon priorities.

Where to go from here? Over to Judy to take us through a two day process that will identify priorities and establish a series of task forces.

Mechanisms for monitoring and reporting back to all stakeholders will also be put in place.

TASK 1: OSAP REVISITEDStep 1 Begin with the Pillar assigned

Step 2 Review the Objectives, Achieved and Ongoing initiatives

Step 3 Focus carefully on the Not Yet Initiated

Step 4 Select a maximum of two or three items that meet the following criteria:

I. Are a high priority for action within sport in Ontario

II. Require collective action – cannot/should not be done by a single organization or agency

III. Are realistic and manageable and with focused effort can be implemented within three years

Step 5 Discuss your selected items until they are clear and can be described and written on the attached worksheet as:

a. An outcome statement which identifies clearly what change we expect to see in whom, within three years

b. A clear description of what the initiative is

Step 6 Move on to the next Pillar of the Ontario Sport Action Plan

TASK 2: OSAP Building MomentumStep 1 Review the Task 1 Worksheet and the input from the morning

workgroups.

Step 2 As a group select a maximum of three initiatives from the morning worksheets.

Step 3 Break down the initiative into manageable activities/tasks and assign these to a lead organization.

Step 4 Reflect on your initiative and brainstorm what may prevent us from accomplishing it. List these as barriers.

Step 5 Brainstorm solutions or contingencies to overcome these barriers and record these on the worksheet.

Step 6 During your group discussion, good ideas and points will come up that should be part of the instructions giving to those

responsible for moving the initiative forward. Note anything that you have discussed that would help keep the momentum going.
