Canada’s Sport System
PrintCanada's sport system is very complex, and high-performance sport represents only a small part of this system. Sport is played at many levels ranging from children and adults participating in recreational sport, to youth training and competing provincially and nationally, all the way to the elite high-performance level where athletes train full-time while representing Canada internationally.
In Canada, there are many organizations that play important roles along the way from the grassroots level to the Olympic and Paralympic podium. Some of these organizations can be found below.
