The Canadian Sport for Life Long-Term Athlete Development model emphasizes the development of physical literacy in all children as the basis for a physically active lifestyle.  It also recognizes that children are not mini-adults and directs sport to provide programs that are developmentally appropriate.  This model has been adopted by all provincial and the federal government and all sport organizations.   Changes have begun to take place in schools, day cares, municipal programs and of course, in sport organizations.  This session will provide an overview of the CS4L model and many examples of the positive changes being made
