National Sport Organizations (NSOs) across Canada

National Sport Organizations (NSOs) across Canada have been operating at the same funding level since 2005.

It is time to change the status quo—this hashtag #Budget2024, we are asking the federal government to make a critical investment in Canada’s national sports system.

FACTS AND FIGURES:
☑️The COC and CPC are asking for $104M to go directly to NSOs.
☑️90% of NSOs rely on federal funding to deliver programs and services
☑️NSO purchasing power has decreased by 33% since the last increase in funding in 2005
☑️More than half of Canadians 15 and older participated in sport in 2023
☑️Sport is the number one form of civic engagement for Canadians
☑️Sport tourism generated $7.4B for Canada’s Economy in 2019
☑️A 1% increase in physical activity can save a $1B a year
☑️In Ontario alone, the Federal government raised over $200 million dollars in GST revenue from sport betting and iGaming in 2023 (iGaming Ontario Deloitte report, 2023).
☑️Sports betting revenues are expected to grow dramatically in years to come, while the Canadian Sport System manages increased sport integrity and athlete support pressures
