Secretary of State for Sport Adam van Koeverden will announce the funding today alongside Team Canada athletes and members of Parliament.
A government official says the funding is meant to help organizations expand participation by increasing access, building interest and delivering programming.
The federal government announced plans in its spring economic update to inject more money into Canada’s national sport organizations.
That promise came after the Future of Sport in Canada Commission’s final report, issued in March, found the country’s sport system was facing a “funding crisis” as federal funding had not kept up with inflation.
