STEEL CITY STEELERS ENGAGING YOUTH ALL YEAR ROUND
Over the years, The Steelers Football Club has helped many children within our community and has some great success stories!
Offering the opportunity to play organized football with dedicated & experienced coaches teaching players from 6 - 19 years old basic to advanced techniques & and fundamentals. Mentoring these young athletes in a positive atmosphere and encouraging them to apply these things to everyday life situations.
This year the Steelers will be offering a year round experience with both our usual Spring program and this year's expansion into Fall programs , further lending itself to helping the youth of our community.
Sadly not all our local youth can afford to participate in organized sports. The launch of our Adopt-An-Athlete program allows local business the chance to help change a life through sport. Sometimes football is even an escape for these young adults from the ups and downs of their real life situations. Keeping them focused on real goals and achievements will help them to grow into productive adults and productive members of our great city.
If you would like to sponsor a youth athlete in whole or in part to enable a player to be part of the Steel City Steelers Football program for the 2013 season please contact: info@steelcitysteelers.com
We have attached our adopt an athlete package with all the details.

 OCC Rapid Policy Update
METROLINX INVESTMENT STRATEGY: WHAT BUSINESS NEEDS TO KNOW
What is the Metrolinx Investment Strategy?
On May 27th, Metrolinx released a report to the Province of Ontario recommending an investment strategy to support new transportation and transit infrastructure in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The investment strategy outlines 24 recommendations, including revenue generation tools, to fund the Next Wave of projects of The Big Move regional transportation plan.
Why is new revenue for transportation infrastructure important?
Infrastructure is the backbone of our economy and benefits the entire province. Ontario's transportation network is a major part of the province's infrastructure and a significant economic enabler of trade and economic investment. 66% of GTHA businesses surveyed by the OCC believe new revenue tools are needed to fund transportation infrastructure.
Businesses understand the cost of the congestion. The ability to get people moving helps the bottom line -- opens up new markets, allows goods to move more freely, and grows the pool of potential employees from which they can draw. For every $100 million invested in infrastructure, 1,670 jobs are created.
The Ontario Chamber of Commerce (OCC) and GTHA chambers recently released a report based on consultations with GTHA businesses titled The $2 Billion Question: GTHA Business Opinion on Funding the Big Move.
The OCC continues to support the need to find efficiencies in government. That said, we know that efficiencies alone will not fund necessary investments in transportation infrastructure.

For any questions about this issue, please contact Josh Hjartarson, VP Policy & Government Relations, at 416-482-5222, ext. 2320.
