SportWORKS Projects

Commonwealth Games Canada has been involved in over 125 sport for development and sport development projects in over 30 countries around the world. Brief summaries of some of these projects are given below which includes: their geographic location, partners involved, and the associated CGC initiative.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development highlights sport as “an important enabler of sustainable development”. It recognizes the growing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance and respect, and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and girls, young people, individuals, and communities, as well as to health, education, gender equality and social inclusion objectives. Thanks to the generous support of the Government and Canada and our other donors, CGC is proud to be one of the world’s pioneers of international sport for development and sport development work.

Working with the SNOA and SNOC, CGC supported the national launch of Olympic Clubs whose goal is to provide thousands of children in every school in the nation the opportunity to play and learn about the benefits of sport and physical education. The program is based around the six Olympic ideals: mass participation: sport as education, fair play, international understanding and world peace, harmonious education of the whole person, and excellence.

It aims to help address key social and health issues facing us today such as: HIV/AIDS, the environment, gender equality, global conflict, and racism.
