Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Lena Metlege Diab has detailed a significant $755 million investment from the Spring Economic Update 2026 aimed at expanding access to sport across Canada. This funding includes $660 million to revitalize national sport organizations and $45 million to support athlete mental health and high-performance training. The initiative specifically prioritizes inclusivity for youth and newcomers. By integrating sport into broader nation-building efforts, the government seeks to foster social cohesion, improve community safety, and ensure that all Canadians can participate in a resilient and active society.
