The importance of recreation and recreation activities throughout the city was recognized in the original desired future statement “Brandon will be alive with recreation, leisure and arts.” The Recreation, Leisure and Arts committee of the Community Strategic Plan was developed from the desired future statement. In 2008, it was identified that with a diverse and rich community in Arts and Recreation there was a need to develop two separate Community Strategic Plan committees. The Brandon Sports Alliance came forward as an existing network, with a mandate similar to the strategic plan goal, and an existing action plan to promote recreation and sport throughout the City of Brandon.

The Brandon Sports Alliance is a newly formed organization that has been created to support sports and recreation organizations in the City of Brandon. Some of the programs and services that the Brandon Sports Alliance will provide are, assistance to local organizations in areas of applying for and receiving funding, acquiring information that local organizations may need and to attract larger sporting events to the City of Brandon to name a few.

With a clearly defined role and committee members that are committed to improving the recreation and sporting opportunities, events and facilities in the City of Brandon the committee looks forward to working with the community in enhancing the recreational wellbeing for all the citizens of Brandon.
