Accomplishments & Initiatives
In 2008, Sport Oakville introduced the annual Sport Recognition Awards which recognize and celebrate the excellence, perseverance and dedication of Oakville’s athletes, teams, coaches and volunteers in the areas of sport development, performance and contribution to the community. This program has grown over the years and in 2011 the Town Hall venue was too small and we moved the ceremony to the Boiler Makers Union Hall. 2013 saw our 850th award being presented to an audience of over 500.
The Sport Development Grant continues to be administered by Sport Oakville on behalf of the Town. Dedicated to the encouragement, promotion and development of sporting activities within the community, the Town makes development grant funds available to eligible not-for-profit sports organizations that are current members of Sport Oakville for assistance to minor sports groups for the betterment of sport and their organizations. 2012 saw the first time where all available funds were fully distributed.
