Organizational Values:

The following values are considered to be central to our organization's ability to deliver on its mandate, achieve its vision, and accomplish its mission:

Participation: Sport NL will strive to make organized sporting activities available to as many Newfoundlanders and Labradorians as possible - particularly in the less serviced areas of our province.

Inclusion: Sport NL will work to help ensure that all children in Newfoundland and Labrador receive a chance to participate in at least one organized sporting activity annually.

Excellence: Sport NL will strive to ensure that it is an integral part of the delivery system for the Long Term Athlete Development program (LTAD). This integration will be such that it will allow as many of the participants in organized sport throughout Newfoundland and Labrador achieve their long term goals in sport.

Fitness: Sport NL will work (at the grass roots level) with those Provincial Sports Organizations that are actively engaged in the delivery of organized sport in Newfoundland and Labrador, to ensure that as many participants as possible participate in one of the many programs that are available through the 46 Provincial Sports Organizations that are presently members of Sport NL.

Healthy Living: Sport NL will continue to promote organized sport as a means to increase individual fitness levels and contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Active Lifestyle: Sport NL will promote organized sport as a means to achieve an active and healthy lifestyle.
