Ottawa begins rolling out long-awaited supplemental funding for national sport groups
Alpine Canada will receive an extra $2.77 million as Ottawa begins distributing $112 million in supplemental sport funding, officials said.
- On Friday, Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden announced $2.77 million in supplementary funding for Alpine Canada, the first distribution from a $112 million pool available this year.
- A March report from the Future of Sport in Canada Commission identified a "funding crisis," as federal investments had not kept pace with inflation, prompting the government to establish this supplemental fund.
- Alpine Canada will receive the $2.77 million supplement atop $8 million in core funding this year, a substantial increase from the $5 million the organization received last year.
- Van Koeverden also announced a partnership between Alpine Canada and Edmonton-based Capital Power, which his office promoted as the first private sector response since the April government call-out.
- Ottawa plans to host a two-day "playground to podium summit" in November where the event aims to foster an ongoing conversation about how to strengthen Canada's sport system.
