THE POWER IN PARTNERSHIPS - ENHANCING DELIVERY AND BUILDING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS
SPORT
The internationally acclaimed successes achieved by Tobago athletes are due , in no small measure , to the sport policies and programmes implemented by the PNM led Tobago House of Assembly . Track and field athletes , footballers , basketball , lawn and table tennis players have achieved successes at national , regional and international sporting competitions . The recent success of our Para-Olympians is a clear demonstration that Tobago athletes are capable of commitment to hard work and performing at the highest levels .
Over the next four years , a PNM led Tobago House of Assembly will continue to develop sporting facilities and athletes by undertaking the following :
• Partner with a NGO to build a swimming pool to serve the North of Tobago within the Moriah Sporting Complex
• Continue the upgrade and lighting of sport facilities to an appropriate standard throughout the island
• Examine the feasibility if developing an aquatic sport centre in North East Tobago
• Provide management support and capacity building to sport clubs and community based sporting organisations in order to stimulate greater use of sporting facilities
• Provide sport facilities throughout Tobago for differently-abled and the building suitable ramps and bathrooms
• Collaborate with the UTT to establish a sport academy to facilitate the development of athletes at the primary , secondary and post secondary level
• Accelerate the development of sport tourism by hosting and supporting local , regional and international sporting events .
• Promote health and wellness by constructing exercise tracks and recreational equipment throughout Tobago .
