See the accessions linked and particuliary Fitness and Amateur Sport (Mikan 79) sous-fonds.Biographie/Histoire administrative :Canada. Department of Canadian Heritage. Sport Canada : The National Fitness Act (7 George VI, Chapter 29) was proclaimed on 1 October 1943 and established the Physical Fitness Division within the Welfare Branch of the Department of Health and Welfare. Mandated to promote fitness and physical education, the Physical Fitness Division administered this role throughout the country. After several disputes with the provinces, the National Fitness Act was repealed in 1954. However, responding to the decline in Canadian athletes' performances at international events, the degrading physical fitness levels of Canadians and the corresponding effect on health, the Fitness and Amateur Sport Act (1960-1961, c.59, s.1.) was inacted. The Act was administered by the Fitness and Amateur Sport Directorate within the Department of Health and Welfare. The Directorate's aim was to increase the level of participation in competitive and non-competitive sports. In 1976, the Fitness and Amateur Sport Directorate was given Branch status. The Minister of State for Fitness and Amateur Sports was abolished in June 1992 with the responsibilities for those functions divided between the Department of Health and the newly-created Canadian Heritage Ministry.
Canadian Heritage consists of three main programs: Corporate Management Services, Parks Canada, and Canadian Identity. Further deconstruction shows that within the Canadian Identity Program there are two sub-programs -- Cultural Development Heritage and Citizenship and Canadian Identity -- both headed by Assistant Deputy Ministers. The Citizenship and Canadian Identity Program (CCIP) is tasked to assist Canadians in recognizing and celebrating their shared identity and in enhancing their capacity to contribute to Canadian society. Along with Official Languages, Canadian Identity (planned spending for Urban Aboriginal Youth Centres and the teaching of aboriginal languages), and Multiculturalism, the program administers the federal government's involvement in sports.
Sport Canada has its own State Minister that reports to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.Information additionnelle :Historique de la conservation :The records in this sous-fonds were created and maintained by the Department of National Health and Welfare (RG29) and by its successor Canadian Heritage (R5747).Source :GouvernementNo d'autorisation de disposition de document :99/012 -
