CALGARY – The woman at the helm of the Future of Sport in Canada Commission says many Canadians have participated so far and she encourages more to get involved.
Former Ontario justice Lise Maisonneuve is leading consultations across the country in an effort to make sport safer and make the sport system run better. The commission reached the halfway mark of those consultations in Calgary this week.
Federal sports minister Carla Qualtrough announced the commission in December of 2023 despite pressure from several quarters for a national inquiry.
People can take an anonymous online survey, write to the commission or ask to speak to Maisonneuve in an in-person consultation.
The last consultations are scheduled for January in Vancouver and Victoria.
This year’s federal budget provided $10.6 million over two years to the commission.
