2022-2023 Community Sport for All Initiative

Cycling Canada has selected 27 cycling clubs to receive Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) funding, which will facilitate improved affordability, availability and accessibility towards the goal of cycling for all.

Cycling Canada will distribute a total of $398,479 to support the implementation and development of HopOn programming nationwide. Particular focus was given to applications aimed at removing barriers to increase cycling participation for underrepresented groups, particularly Black, Indigenous, newcomers to Canada and persons with a disability.

The clubs, which are each affiliated with their respective Provincial/Territorial Sport Organization (PTSO), received funding to be used towards:

- Training National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) certified Instructors and Learning Facilitators
- Program subsidies (e.g., registration fees)
- Equipment needs (bikes, helmets, trailer, maintenance, insurance, etc.)

The funding is made possible by the Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) component of the Sport Canada Sport Support Program, which seeks to remove barriers and increase sport participation rates for underrepresented groups.
