The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) and Commonwealth Games Association(TTCGA) is pleased that the Sports Breakfast Meeting remains a relevant and important aspect of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
People in the Commonwealth love sport. Its values – fitness, fair play, teamwork, and the pursuit of excellence – are universal.it brings people together.
Sport can be used in conflict resolution, employment creation, poverty alleviation, social integration, health promotion, life education, environment protection, combating crime and drug abuse.
Sporting success gives dignity, pride and self-respect.The potential of sport as a tool to reach personal, community, national and international development objectives is ,however,still undervalued.
The Sports Breakfast Meeting provides the opportunity for the sharing of thoughts and ideas as to the vital role that Sport can play in the Commonwealth.It is an affirmation of Commonwealth Leaders appreciation for the role sport can play in the quest to meet sustainable development aims and objectives.
The CHOGM Sports Breakfast Meeting will be held on Saturday 28 November at the Hyatt Hotel starting at 8am.
