The WTI has four objectives:
- Develop, implement and assess a number if initiatives that address multiple policy outcomes through sport and physical activity;
- Assess the knowledge gaps of each initiative and determine how best to fill them;
- Increase our knowledge about sport and physical activity as a means to meet policy objectives;
- Learn how to more effectively work together across departmental and sectoral boundaries and capture this knowledge so that others might benefit from what was learned.
