Request for Proposals - viaSport Partners with Columbia Basin Trust »

VIASPORT ISSUES RFP TO INITIATE REGIONAL STRATEGY WORK IN THE COLUMBIA BASIN:

viaSport is pleased to announce a new relationship with Columbia Basin Trust (CBT), an organization which works to strengthen the well-being of the communities within the CBT Region (click here for a map).

This new partnership will see viaSport working with Columbia Basin Trust to support and further develop the sport and physical activity sector within this Region. This collaboration will result in the development and implementation of a regional sport and physical activity strategy; offering new opportunities to support and encourage participation in a broad spectrum of sport and recreation activities throughout the Region.  It will also create a framework to engage additional stakeholder groups in related sectors, for example:  health, education, and business.

As a first step to develop this strategy, a leadership team of viaSport and CBT has been collaborating to develop a consultative engagement process to gather feedback and input from the stakeholder groups in communities across the Region. 

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is being circulated to seek out a consultant or company to assist the leadership group with the stakeholder engagement project.  The scope of work includes the development of a consultative stakeholder engagement process, to identify the needs of the sport and physical activity sector, resulting in the development of a sport and physical activity strategy for the Region.  Read the full Request for Proposal here.  

Please circulate this proposal through your networks in the CBT Region.

Interested consultants or companies are encouraged to submit a proposal by July 26, 2013.  Inquiries may be directed to Moira Gookstetter moirag@viasport.ca  778-327-5172.
