Sport Canada Hosting Program — Backgrounder
Backgrounder
The Hosting Program assists sport organizations in hosting the Canada Games and international sport events in Canada. The Program contributes to sport excellence and enhances the international profile of sport organizations in Canada. It also delivers economic, social and cultural benefits to Canadian communities.
The Hosting Program is delivered through four components:
Canada Games
This component provides contributions to host societies that are duly incorporated for the staging of the Canada Games, such as the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.
International Major Multisport Games
This component is focused on large, multisport games, such as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and the Pan and Parapan American Games.
International Single Sport Events
This component assists sport organizations in hosting international single sport events in Canada. It aims to enhance high-performance sport development and the international profile of Canadian sport organizations.
International Multisport Games for Aboriginal Peoples and Persons with Disabilities
This component provides competitive opportunities for designated, under-represented groups in Canada that face systemic barriers to sport participation. The Toronto 2017 North American Indigenous Games received a contribution from this component of the Hosting Program.
Listed below are all the winter sports events from December 2017 to March 2018 for International Single Sport Events. This represents a total of $1,775,000 in contributions from Sport Canada.
