Ottawa to Announce Funding for 60 National Sport Organizations
The boost is part of a $660 million sport-support package and is meant to help smaller groups expand participation and programming, officials said.
- On Thursday, Canada announced supplemental funding for more than 60 national sport organizations, committing $112 million in increased support for this fiscal year.
- The Canada Commission report, issued in March, found the country's sport system faced a 'funding crisis' as federal support had not kept up with inflation.
- Swimming Canada CEO Suzanne Paulins said the general response was "gratefulness" and "happiness," noting funds now enable organizations to pursue previously capacity-limited goals.
- This support comprises $660 million over five years for NSOs, MSOs, and the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network, part of a $1 billion government investment in sport.
- Secretary of State for Sport Adam Van Koeverden will host a national sport summit in Ottawa from Nov. 9-10, where leaders will discuss strategies for advancing the industry.
