Supporting the success of local sport, recreation and culture community groups is a priority for Strathcona County. As part of this, spring and fall group workshops are available, where affiliates from sport, recreation and culture community groups can attend and learn some basics on how to get started with a sponsorship program, hear from guest speakers and network with other local groups.

In addition, a Sport and Community Group Sponsorship Guide is in place to help groups navigate when on-site recognition opportunities for their sponsors, are available in a County space.
