We are proud to have played a role in shaping this new policy, which marks a significant shift for sport in Canada. Less focus on performance, more emphasis on participation, inclusion, and well-being. A renewed framework that positions sport as a driver of public health, social connection, and personal growth — at all levels of participation.

Our contribution:
✔Promoting a vision of sport for life, for health and for all
✔ Bringing on the ground perspectives into strategic direction
✔ Promoting accessibility, equity, and diversity in sport
