Scope and content:

Show detail Hide detail

Sub-series consists of subject files of the National Council on Physical Fitness (NCPF). The operational records of the NCPF are found primarily in volumes 775 to 779 and consist of annual reports to the Minister of Health and Welfare, special reports, minutes of Council meetings, and general correspondence which highlights the Council's role in coordinating physical fitness activities. A second group of these files, consisting mainly of meeting minutes, are found in volumes 1340 and 1341. There are also files relating to the rules and regulations governing the Council's composition, statements of policy on observers at meetings, summaries of resolutions, and reports of the Chairman. In addition to the NCPF's basic operational material there are many subject files containing mainly publications, news clippings and correspondence from the 1940s to the late 1950s. The subjects include: the development and application of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award in Canada; recreation in the armed forces, both in Canada and abroad; provincial legislation and policy relating to physical fitness; the diploma course in physical fitness at the University of British Columbia; and speeches by the Minister on physical fitness and sports, and track and field. The bulk of the subject files, containing meeting minutes, pamphlets, publications and correspondence, are composed of files relating to a specific association or group, such as the Canadian Association on Health, the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union, the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada, the Sports Medicine Association, the Canadian Gymnastics Federation, or the National Federation of Amateur Baseball.

These records are arranged in two different but related systems. Volumes 774 to 821D are arranged in a straight numeric order from 1 to 789, but it appears that this order was imposed upon the records, perhaps from a source outside the NCPF. The documents in those files are labelled consistently according to an alpha-numeric filing code (i.e. D1-7-2b, or R1-C46-4); indeed, much of the material is found on spiked registry files with Health and Welfare labels bearing these alpha-numeric numbers. Volumes 896-900, which contain the same kind of records, are arranged according to this alpha-numeric arrangement, as are the files in Volumes 1339-1341.
