FOREWORD ……to the 2012-14 Strategic Plan
Several years ago, the Board of Directors of Skate Canada Nova Scotia set
out to develop a Strategic Plan to provide direction to the Board and to the
various Committees in their operational activities. It was also felt that a
strategic plan would provide transparency to our members in terms of
what the organization was trying to accomplish for our sport.
After a number of scrambled attempts, we were fortunate to have Dan
Walmsley come to our rescue. Working with the Board members, Dan
helped us organize our thoughts and ideas, and was able to guide us to the
2012-14 Strategic Plan we have today. As noted in the Introduction, this
document is a “living” document to be reviewed on a regular basis.
Priorities may be adjusted, new goals may be added and others may be
deleted, all actions which may be affected by numerous factors beyond
Board control.
Implementation and success of this plan are key to the organization’s
future and to the future of skating in Nova Scotia.
I would personally like to thank Dan Walmsley for his time and
patience and for his leadership role in this initiative. I would also
like to thank every Board member (past and present) for their time
and commitment and for their open and honest discussion in the
creation of this document.
