How Canadians Can Get Involved with Local Athletes and Coaches

Canadians have the opportunity to get involved with their local athletes and coaches through Special Olympics Canada. This organization provides a national sports program that is designed to ensure that all coaches receive the right training for the benefit of everyone involved. To learn more about the specific requirements of a particular program or to train at various levels of competition, Canadians should contact their local branch of Special Olympics Canada. Sport Canada is dedicated to providing Canadians with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in sports. As a leading sports nation, both domestically and internationally, Sport Canada works to ensure that all Canadians can enjoy, value, and celebrate the benefits of active participation and excellence in sports.

Through its leadership and funding, Sport Canada helps create a strong Canadian sports system that allows Canadians to progress from early sports experiences to high performance excellence. The success of the Canadian sports system relies on many stakeholders, including the Government of Canada, private sector organizations, provincial and territorial governments, multi-sport service organizations, and national sports organizations.
