3. Overview of Strategic Approach
Budget 2017 investments will complement current initiatives in Indigenous Sport delivered through Canadian Heritage’s Sport Canada branch’s established transfer payment programs, specifically the Sport Support Program and the Hosting Program. The overarching result of these investments is to engage more Indigenous Youth in culturally relevant sport programming.
More Indigenous children and youth are participating in culturally relevant sport programming
Leadership
Indigenous Multisport Games
Culturally relevant programming
By providing access to culturally relevant sport, there will be more opportunities for Indigenous youth to engage in sport, and incentives to remain involved

4. Next Steps
Sport Canada is working with the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) to further define the structure of these investments and secure spending authorities
In order to provide all the required information, Sport Canada has engaged and discussed the expected results for the proposed investments with the Aboriginal Sport Circle on May 3, 2017.
Once authorities are obtained by TBS, the funding will be available to spend.
Collection of results in the early years of the investment will be essential to allow for renewal of investments not identified as ongoing.
Therefore, the selection of indicators and results that show early progress will help build the case for renewal.

6. Delivery and Expected Results
Expected results represent the difference an investment is intended to make.
Treasury Board Secretariat requires the articulation of short, medium and long term outcomes, specific to the funding for which authorities are sought. For example:
Short Term: Organizations in the delivery network are strengthened and have the capacity to deliver culturally relevant sport programming for Indigenous children and youth
Medium Term: Organizations in the delivery network are offering culturally relevant programming for children and youth
Long Term: Indigenous children and youth experience culturally relevant programming and participate in Indigenous Multisport Games
Short-Term (2017-April 2019) – In the short term, the Indigenous Youth and Sport investments will establish the underpinnings for the delivery of culturally relevant sport programming for Indigenous children and youth. Short term investments will strengthen the delivery network and enable those organizations to assess their programming and services for alignment with the Aboriginal Long-Term Participant Development Pathway (ALTPD) resources.
Medium-Term (April April 2021) - In the medium term, the Indigenous Youth and Sport investments will build on the strengthened delivery network to offer culturally relevant programming for children and youth at the community level.
Long-Term – (April ) In the long term, the Indigenous Youth and Sport Initiative investments will result in an increase in the number of Indigenous children and youth experiencing culturally relevant programming at multiple stages of athlete development and participating in Multisport Games.
