The Manitoba Action Plan for Sport (MAPS) is a five-year strategic plan outlining focus areas for funding, development, and sustainability of sport programs. Sport Manitoba began this process in 1999 to ensure a collective vision and common goals for the entire sport community in Manitoba. In the 2020-2025 plan, the focus areas are Athlete Development, Sport Culture, and Value of Sport and one of the key threads within all three areas is the recruitment, training, mentorship, and retention of officials.
No Ref No Game
Sport Manitoba is bringing True Sport to life by developing plans that foster fair, safe, inclusive, and fun sport experiences to instill character in our kids, strengthen our communities, and increase opportunities for personal excellence. Without referees, officials, and umpires, there would be no games.
