Participation Initiatives

Sport Participation Development Projects(SPDP)

SPDP of National Sport Organizations (NSOs) and Multisport Service Organizations (MSOs) are aligned with the vision and participation goal of the Canadian Sport Policy. The projects are funded under the Sport Support Program and support NSOs and MSOs in their efforts to increase current participation levels, recruit new participants and reduce the dropout rates.

Participation Elements of the Sport Support Program(SSP)

The participation elements of the Sport Support Program (SSP) are the primary funding mechanisms to achieve both the participation objective of the SSP and, when approved, Sport Canada’s Sport Participation Strategy. The objective of the draft Sport Participation Strategy is “to increase the number of Canadians participating in sport, particularly among children and youth, and other identified groups, in a manner consistent with targets agreed upon by the federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for sport.”

Promotional Initiatives

Sport Canada, in collaboration with the Public Health Agency of Canada, supports ParticipACTION.
