Athletes must have the potential to be among the best in Canada, have demonstrated dedication to their sport, have special needs not covered through regular program funding, and must not be subsidized by national programs (i.e. hold a national card). It is the Foundation's policy to award grants for those specific sports approved for competition at future Canada Summer and Canada Winter Games.
