The Government of Canada is being asked for decisions on federal funding and services, in the fall of 2022, for multiple major sport event projects. Hamilton100, a community based bid group, worked with Commonwealth Sport Canada to develop a plan for hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games in Hamilton, Ontario. This plan has been submitted for review and decisions by the Government of Canada. The Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Committees, as well as local First Nations and municipalities, are developing a plan for hosting the 2030 Winter Games in British Columbia. This plan will be submitted to the Government of Canada for review and decisions in late summer 2022. The Government of Canada is also working with the Canadian Soccer Association and the governments of Vancouver, British Columbia, Toronto and Ontario to review plans, services and funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Vancouver and Toronto were selected as host cities in June 2022.
The Government of Canada continues to assume a leadership role to ensure safety and security for all participants in sport.
Concussion is a serious and significant public health issue that affects the sport, recreation, health, and education sectors. On August 6, 2022, the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers responsible for sport, physical activity and recreation reiterated that concussions remain a major concern. Building on the 2019 commitments and considering the progressive return to sport post-pandemic, ministers will continue the pan-Canadian efforts on concussion awareness, prevention, detection, and management.
Canada will host the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Vancouver and Toronto, along with 14 other cities in the Unites States and Mexico.
Sport Canada is working with the Canadian Soccer Association, the host cities and their respective provinces and many federal departments and agencies to continue to develop and review plans and budgets for the event. It is expected that the next version of the National Hosting Concept will be submitted by the Canadian Soccer Association to Sport Canada in the fall of 2022, and that a decision by the Government of Canada will be requested in early 2023.
