Alberta Sport Survey

The Province has launched a survey to learn more about sport and physical activity in Alberta. Although it can be debated whether skateboarding is a sport or not, it can’t be argued that skateboarding involves physical activity. Take the 5 minute survey and use the “other” and final sections to mention skateboarding.

From the Alberta Government site:
“The Alberta Government would like to know your priorities for amateur sport in the province. Therefore, you are being asked to take the following survey which will demonstrate your sport priorities based on the following contexts:

-Physical Literacy
-Introduction to Sport
-Recreational Sport
-Competitive Sport
-High Performance Sport
-Sport for Development”
