SportWORKS Section Navigation

For over 25 years, Commonwealth Games Canada has had the privilege of being associated with amazing people who have echoed sport’s power to make a difference. They range from dedicated staff and volunteers, to enthusiastic partners and hosts, through to grateful, hardworking program participants.
The SportWORKS tag line, “Making a Difference and Becoming Different” has been embraced and embodied by all our volunteers. We very much appreciate their contributions, many of whom are noted below along with their associated initiatives and projects.
