Sport Canada

Sport Canada works to help Canadians participate and excel in sport. As part of the Department of Canadian Heritage, Sport Canada strengthens the unique contribution that sport makes to Canadian identity, culture and society.

Sport Canada works with many partners, including provincial-territorial governments, National Sport Organizations (NSOs), Multisport Service Organizations (MSOs), Canadian Sport Centres (CSCs) and Other organizations.

Sport Canada strives to enhance opportunities for all Canadians to participate and excel in sport. This is achieved by enhancing the capacity and coordination of the Canadian sport system, encouraging participation in sport and enabling Canadians with talents and dedication to achieve excellence in international sport.

Sport Canada's funding programs enhance our sport development system, advance the goals of the Canadian Sport Policy, and help Canadian organizations or organizing committees to host international sport events and the Canada Games. Sport Canada also has a number of special initiatives to advance the goals of the Canadian Sport Policy.
