2009 Active At All Ages Awards
From 5 October 2009, when Victorian Government Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth Affairs opens the call for nominations, you will be able to nominate someone you know for one of COTA’s 2009 Active At All Ages Award.
Older people can and do participate in a wide range of sporting and recreational activities, and there are opportunities for them to enjoy the health and social benefits of participation without formal competition.
The Active At All Ages Awards, developed by COTA with support from Sport and Recreation Victoria, recognise and promote the significant achievements and contributions of ‘role models’ who are currently involved and of the clubs, groups and organisations who demonstrate ‘best practice’ in making this possible.
COTA believes that raising awareness of older people’s participation and the range of opportunities available will, over time, motivate others to explore new options in sport and active recreation.
Award categories:
The awards would recognise contributions in each of the following categories:
· Individuals over 50 years of age (and teams whose members are over 50) who participate
· Volunteers over 50 years of age who help deliver opportunities to participate
· Clubs, groups or organisations who provide opportunities for older people to participate.
The awards will be presented on 22 February 2010. for further information contact the Physical Activity Manager at COTA on 9655 2105 or activemanager@cotavic.org.au
