I want to live in a community that values and supports a broad range of interests and activities, regardless of whether they affect my life directly or whether ...I use them. And I want a city council that represents and supports those values. (Some) on #Guelph city council have blind-spots that are confounding and frustrating. Last week, a motion (left pic) to cut rental fees for non-profit youth sports next year failed - with 6 yes and 7 nos. You gotta wonder why doesn't #BuildBackBetter or #NewNormal or #DiversityandInclusion apply to youth sports? I've been watching council meetings for years, and other groups asking for temp support don't usually get this treatment: (I am paraphrasing here: ) Councilor Allt: Will one-time subsidy will set expectations for permanent subsidy? City Staff: Yes there will "a great deal of resistance" next year you can watch the council meeting here (timestamp 1:47:00): https://pub-guelph.escribemeetings.com//ISIStandAlonePlaye Why are youth sports orgs - whose membership is growing increasingly diverse - being singled out as if they are asking for a handout, when all they are asking for a helping hand up to stay afloat the greatest crisis facing our generation? We don't have kids of our own, but I value youth sports organizations as a vital thread of our community fabric. If you talk to (m)any families - particularly immigrant families or working parents - and you'll learn that youth sports weave community, bring people together, nurture a sense of belonging and keep kids active+engaged. If (some) on city council don't see it fit to support community orgs during the time of their greatest need, then it falls upon us as a community to shore them up. I'll be putting aside some $$ over the next year to donate to these community-led youth sports orgs (right pic) , and I encourage you to do the same.

A notice to all of our members: Ontario Basketball is currently in Phase 3 of its Return to Play Guidelines, part of a multi-phased approach to safely resuming basketball activities at all levels of play. We are closely following OBA’s updates to track the ongoing measures by the Ontario government and medical health authorities as they relate to basketball. In Phase 3, teams are allowed to conduct non-contact practice indoors (see OBA’s 2020-21 Drill Book) subject to local gathering limits in your region, but no competition is being sanctioned at this time. For further resources and instructions please review the Return to Play Guidelines on basketball.on.ca - https://basketball.on.ca/ontario-basketball-releases-retur/
