We invest in research to continue measuring, iterating, and improving on our approach. We have sector and academic partnerships allowing us to assess youth sport access, engagement, and equity across Ontario.

Fewer than 10 percent of Ontario youth get the recommended hour of daily physical activity. Through our grant programs, we support organizations helping youth get off the sidelines.

82 percent of Canadians know a child who cannot participate in organized sport due to cost. Our free community programs provide employment opportunities and remove access barriers to organized sport.

Only half of children aged 5 to 14 regularly take part in sport during an average year. We refurbish athletic facilities to create more opportunities for youthto get moving intheir community.

More than 60 percent of youth face significant barriers in life. MLSE LaunchPad provides free Sport For Development programming teaching life-skills through sport and empowering youth facing barriers to recognize and reach their potential.
