Story summary

The Federal Government is set to announce new funding for over 60 national sport organizations (NSOs) on Thursday, October 22, 2026. This announcement follows a $660 million funding boost first announced in April and includes support for NSOs, multi-sport organizations (MSOs), and Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network members (COPSINs). The CEO of Swimming Canada, Suzanne Paulins, described the expected financial boost as "transformational." Applications totaling roughly $168 million were submitted by over 101 NSOs in September. Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden will make the announcement alongside Team Canada athletes and members of Parliament, aiming to help organizations expand participation and address a funding crisis highlighted by the Future of Sport in Canada Commission's report issued in March.
