I came across an idea to investigate on where sports fundings come from?
When i researched about this issue, one of the major contributors to sports funding was Sports Canada. It contains the major funding program called the Athlete Assitance Program, depending on the word ranking, athletes qualify for finicial support. Another program that helps promotes healthy living is Particip- ACTION, which we are fimilar with the commericals for them. This causes awareness of healthy living and exercise. Another funding contributor is the COC (Canadian Olympic Committee) and this is the largest private sector fundor for elite sports.What suprised me the most was the lottery funding. That our money goes and supports athletes everywhere. Fifty five of sport canada budget is annual transfer of lottery revenues from provincial lotteries to federal government.
Over all this was an insightful investigation, I learned alot of new information and hope to recognize these programs as helping shape our future for tomorrow’s althelets.
