December 13 Application Deadline: Sport Canada’s Community Sport for All Initiative Grant
Nordiq Canada is happy to announce that the Sport Canada Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) Grant is back! This funding supports sport initiatives for underrepresented groups, including Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQI+, low-income, newcomer populations, persons with disabilities, and seniors.

The catch is that Nordiq Canada must apply for money by Dec 23. Yes! That is a tight turnaround. Our hope is to apply for this limited-time funding by submitting an application with multiple projects already happening in our clubs and divisions across Canada, and projects planned for next year. If successful, Nordiq Canada would work with clubs and divisions to refine projects and create partnership agreements.

How to Apply

 

CEO Job Opportunity
Our celebrated National Ski Team is made up of superior athletes in the Olympic and Paralympic streams. What does it take for them to be the best? If you ask our athletes, they will tell you it takes hard work, dedication, and focus. As an organization we know Olympic, Paralympic, and World Championship achievements require significant investment and support from across the country. These investments in high performance will trigger success at every level and for every member — from grassroots to podiums.  We believe that when athletes succeed, we all succeed. Do you believe you have what it takes to lead the organization through this strategy to greatness? If so, we’d love to hear from you before December 13.
