A. Sport Canada’s mandate does not, at this time, include any provisions to assist individuals, clubs, groups or municipalities with their capital projects, including the construction of sport and recreational facilities, or to help defray the costs of purchasing sporting or recreational equipment.

Infrastructure Canada, through its Canada Strategic Infrastructure Fund and the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund are possible sources of federal funding for such projects.
