SPORT PARTICIPATION IN CANADA
1998 REPORT
Statistics Canada, through a sport supplement to the General Social Survey (GSS), surveyed approximately 10,000 Canadians (aged 15 years and older) about the extent and nature of their participation in sport during the previous 12 months.
This survey was conducted in 1992 and again in 1998. These two sport supplements are the primary source of data for the reports entitled Sport Participation in Canada.
The 1998 Report is available below, in .pdf format. The 1998 Report Highlights as well as the 1992 Report Highlights are also available, in .html format.
