Thank you to Prime Minister Mark Carney, Minister Champagne, and Secretary of State (Sport) Adam van Koeverden for recognizing the role sport plays in building this country. In Ontario, we have seen firsthand what is possible when world-class events come to our communities. The Craigleith Ski Cross World Cup and the Tremblant Women’s Alpine World Cup have lit a spark and offered inspiration to many young Ontario athletes.
This funding will also provide more sustainable pathways for Next Gen high-performance athletes to chase their dreams. Stronger base funding for our national sport organizations means a safer sports system, better national-level programming, and more kids finding their way into the sport from the magic carpets all the way to the podium.
More details in June.
