Story summary

The federal government announced $60 million in new funding for 60 national sport organizations (NSOs) on October 22, 2026, as part of a larger $660 million initiative over five years first revealed in April. The supplemental funding aims to address the "funding crisis" highlighted by the Future of Sport in Canada Commission's March report, which noted that federal support had not kept pace with inflation. Organizations like Swimming Canada and Hockey Canada are among the beneficiaries; the latter received a significant boost despite initial concerns about how funds would be allocated. Suzanne Paulins, CEO of Swimming Canada and co-chair of the Summer Sport Caucus, called the investment "transformational," emphasizing its potential to enhance sport participation and programming across the country.
