Future of Sport in Canada Commission Reveals National Sport System Crisis
The Future of Sport in Canada Commission has released a preliminary report revealing a crisis in the Canadian sports system characterized by widespread abuse, maltreatment, and systemic failures including a culture of silence, underfunding, and poor governance. The report, based on extensive consultations with over 825 individuals and 1,000 written submissions, identifies deeply ingrained issues and offers 71 recommendations, such as creating a centralized sport entity, improving funding models, and establishing national safe sport education and complaint mechanisms. Commissioner Lise Maisonneuve described the system as "broken," emphasizing the urgent need for reform to protect athletes. The Canadian Olympic Committee welcomed the report, affirming its commitment to a safe, inclusive, and athlete-centered sport system while calling for increased federal investment and leadership. The commission's findings will guide discussions at a National Summit in September, with a comprehensive report expected in March 2026, as athletes and advocacy groups urge government action to implement these reforms and address systemic abuse. This effort reflects a nationwide call to transform the Canadian sport environment into one that prioritizes safety, inclusivity, and accountability.
