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.

The Caribbean Healthy Lifestyle Project combines sports with personal development and reinforces the value of maintaining a healthy lifestyle while fostering leadership and capacity building amongst youth. The program identifies future leaders and empowers them through training in leadership and presentation techniques to affect positive change within their own community. CGC helped develop the C-HLP program and have continued to support it over the last 10 years in schools, community centers and juvenile detention centers.
