Olympic and Paralympic athletes will see an increase in their monthly cheques, helping to cover bills, training, and competition costs not funded by their national sports organization.
The federal government fulfilled a budget promise to Canada ’s athletes preparing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games with Monday’s announcement of $55-million infusion into the sport system.
“A system that invests in athletes and organizations who are working hard to represent Canada internationally, and invest in grassroots organizations that enable more Canadians to participate in sport and live more active lives.”Top athletes were receiving $1,765 per month – $1,060 for a development-level athlete – to pay their bills and cover training and competition costs their national sports organization can’t.
“It can be the difference between being able to go to that last competition that will help you qualify for the Olympics or not, or Commonwealth Games or not.
