To what extent should municipalities provide access to sport infrastructures, free of charge or through user fees, to their citizens and community clubs? Should the federal government financially support national sport organizations (NSOs)? At what level? Under which conditions? Should governments establish public administrative bodies to control doping in sport, or should they mandate non-governmental organizations to do so? These are only a few examples of issues that first come to mind when one considers the role government plays in sport.

The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview
of current Canadian sport policy. More than ever, in order to
understand the role and meaning of sport in society, it is important
to recognize the inter-relations between the sport system and the
state, to realize that numerous sport issues are indeed also public
policy issues in which the state has a key role to play. Given the current
international trend toward devoting increasingly large sums
of money to ‘produce’ Olympic medalists, to what extent should
governments support high performance athletes, and through which
channels? To what extent should municipalities provide access to
sport infrastructures, free of charge or through user fees, to their
citizens and community clubs? Should the federal government
financially support national sport organizations (NSOs)? At what
level? Under which conditions? Should governments establish public
administrative bodies to control doping in sport, or should they
mandate non-governmental organizations to do so? These are only
a few examples of issues that first come to mind when one considers
the role government plays in sport.
There have been prominent developments in sport in recent
decades that reinforce government’s central role in the field.
Canadians remember the success of Canadian athletes at the
Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, as well as
the massive investments of the federal government, the province of British Columbia and the city of Vancouver which made the hosting
of these games successful. Canadian sport leaders, with funding
from the government and sponsorships from the private commercial
sector, launched the creation of Own the Podium, an initiative that
continues to establish specific performance targets and strategies to
achieve these targets for upcoming Summer and Winter Olympic and
Paralympic Games. |
