Alumni Program
Around the country, former Commonwealth Sport Canada (CSC) people want to stay in touch with our organization, reconnect with former colleagues and make valuable contacts through the Commonwealth Sport Canada Alumni Program.
People who leave CSC are never truly "lost" to our Organization. Most value the time they spent with us: the friends they made; the things they learned and the opportunities it provided to them. CSC is proud to have been a part of so many lives and would cherish the opportunity to continue the relationship through the CSC Alumni Program!
The objective(s) of the Alumni program is to create an engaged community. A well run Program can serve a number of important purposes, such as:
- Allow for alumni interaction and networking;
- Promote feelings of affinity and loyalty towards CSC and to foster a lifelong relationship with the Commonwealth Sport Movement;
- Encourage alumni to become engaged through volunteerism:
- Organize special events which are fun and exciting;
- Mentorship Opportunities;
- Increase awareness, raise the profile and enhance the reputation of CSC and work that we do (Speakers Program, Schools Program);
- Provide support for awards
- Assist in finding "lost alumni
We are reaching out to as many Canadian Commonwealth Sport alumni as possible. If you are an alumni and would like to register for the Alumni Program or update your contact information click here.
