AthletesCAN celebrates the federal government’s decision to increase athlete funding by 18%
Canadian athletes are celebrating today as the federal government announced an increase to the Athlete Assistance Program, known as “carding” or AAP. The last increase to carding was in 2004.
Applications for the 2017 Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund are now available!
In keeping with their commitment to amateur sport in Canada, Investors Group is once again offering $5,000 each to 20 of our country’s high performance athletes to assist with costs of training and competition. Since the program’s inception in 2000, the Team Investors Group Amateur Athletes Fund has provided Canadian athletes with $1,700,000.
After extensive consultation with more than 60 athletes, board members, past board members and sport stakeholders the AthletesCAN strategic planning committee and board of directors are proud to unveil AthletesCAN’s 2016-2020 strategic plan.
AthletesCAN is pleased to announce that Chantal Petitclerc and Chandra Crawford are the recipients of the 2016 Athlete Leadership Award and Athlete Social Responsibility Award respectively. The pair was honoured Saturday at the 2016 AthletesCAN Forum in Mississauga, ON.
Athlete Leadership Award – Chantal Petitclerc
Dear Athlete or Athletes’ Commission member,
Having written to National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and International Federations (IFs), we are also directly inviting athletes to apply for the Academy run by the International Sports Relations Foundation (iSR). It is a 10-month programme for recently retired or retiring athletes to help them transition into a career in sport once their endeavours on the field of play have finished.
