Lethbridge Game Changers
Our mission is to empower people in sport.
In a rapidly evolving landscape of sport in Canada, where challenges have cast a shadow over the nation's sport system, the Lethbridge Sport Council leads the way with our groundbreaking initiative, Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering People in Sport, aligned with the visionary measures announced by the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Sport, on May 11, 2023.
Our Vision: Uplifting Community Sport
At the heart of this movement lies a simple yet profound vision: to uplift community sport, empower individuals, and create a safe and sustainable sport culture. We believe in working collaboratively, from the grassroots to the national level, to drive positive change. Our focus in four pillars is set to redefine the future of community sport in Lethbridge.
Empowering Coaches in Sport
Unlock the potential of our youth athletes by investing in our coaches. Through our pioneering program, in partnership with the University of Lethbridge and FSQ Sport, we present the Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering Coaches in Sport. This program offers year-round support and development in critical areas like competence, confidence, character, connection, and culture, ensuring our coaches can nurture exceptional young athletes.

Empowering Leaders in Sport
For local non-profit sport organizations, success is not an option; it's a necessity. Our initiative, Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering Leaders in Sport, provides essential training and education in crucial areas such as promotions, marketing, fund development, equity, diversity, inclusion, board governance, and more. Elevate your organization to new heights.

Empowering Student Leaders in Sport
Nurturing the next generation of sports leaders is essential. Our initiative, Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering Student Leaders in Sport, engages secondary school students in the battle against the shortage of volunteers, coaches, and officials. It includes the Southern Alberta Sport Leadership Conference, inspiring speaker sessions, and the Lethbridge Game Changers: Get Involved Fund to recognize outstanding leadership in community sport.
Interested in networking with local sport leaders and learning about the 5 C's of coaching? We invite student leaders to attend the Lethbridge Game Changers Conference on April 12-13, 2024. Learn more about the conference and other coaching opportunities on our CONFERENCE PAGE
Empowering Volunteers in Sport
Volunteers are the lifeblood of community sport. To meet the increasing demand for volunteers, we introduce Lethbridge Game Changers: Empowering Volunteers in Sport. This program will revolutionize volunteer management, creating a seamless process that identifies barriers, enablers, and motivators within our community. Together, we'll build connections that last.
