We are entering an exciting period for the Canadian Cerebral Palsy Sports Association as we look to modernize our organization and our activities, particularly in the context of the evolving Canadian sport landscape and the broader Future of Sport dialogue.

As we plan for the future of our sport and our organization, many may not be aware that our current strategic plan is reaching the end of its term this year. We are now actively developing the next iteration of our strategic plan, which will guide our work over the coming years.

To support this important work, we have commissioned the strategy consulting firm The Greater. We have previously worked with their team in supporting elements of our growth and development planning for the sport of boccia in Canada, and we are pleased to continue this collaboration as we expand the scope to support the broader strategic direction of the Canadian Cerebral Palsy Sports Association.

The success of this strategic plan will depend on the input and insight of our boccia community. Today, we are launching the first step in this process through a national consultation survey, which will serve as a foundational element in shaping the key priorities and direction of our future work.

Why should you participate?
This phase is critical, not only for the organization, but for the athletes, coaches, partners, and communities we serve. Our Strategic Plan will guide how we focus our efforts and invest our resources to deepen our impact across Canada. We strongly encourage you to take part as you are able, your insight will play an essential role in shaping our future.

There is no time limit to complete the survey, and you may complete it at your own pace. You may also save your progress and return later using the same browser, as this function relies on cookies.

Confidentiality and Anonymity
To help us better understand your perspective, the survey includes a few background questions, such as your relationship to the Canadian Cerebral Palsy Sports Association. This information will help ensure we are hearing from a representative cross-section of our community.

Your name will not be collected, and all responses will remain anonymous and confidential. The information gathered will be used solely to inform the development of the strategic plan.

We encourage you to provide candid and detailed feedback.

Accessibility and Support
It is our priority that everyone is able to fully participate in this consultation process. This survey is designed to be completed online, however, if you require any accommodations or have suggestions to improve accessibility, we will work with our partners at The Greater to support your participation.

This consultation process is being conducted in both official languages.
