The Sport Participation Support Program provides financial assistance to not-for-profit organizations towards the development and operation of projects or programs that:
- increase sport opportunities for athletes, coaches, officials and volunteer leaders from under-represented and marginalized populations
- this would include groups such as girls and women, Indigenous populations, children and youth from economically disadvantaged families, persons with a disability, and new Canadians
- support projects strengthening physical literacy in children and youth participation that are compatible with the first 3 stages of the long-term development framework
