Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Centres and Institutes

Canadian Sport Institutes and Centres were created in partnership with Sport Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) and the provincial governments. The Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute (COPSI) Network is a group of designated multisport training centres established in Canada recognized by Sport Canada and Own the Podium and supported by national and provincial partners including the COC, CAC, and the Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) in partnership with the seven (7) different provinces or regions across Canada. There are four Canadian Sport Institutes (located in Calgary, Quebec, Ontario, and the Pacific Region) and three Canadian Sport Centres (located in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Atlantic Canada). 

The COPSI Network supports the development of high performance sport in Canada through a network of training environments as well as through collaboration with National Sport Organizations, national partners, provincial and local governments as well as the private sector to provide more opportunities for high performance athletes and coaches. In addition to athlete training environments, these institutes/centres also:

• promote the profession of coaching;
• provide critical sport science and sport medicine services to national team athletes (able-bodied and athletes with a disability);
• research and provide innovative approaches to improving the training and competition environments;
• stimulate sport development across Canada by creating quality daily training environments to maximize the performance impact.
