The Canadian Olympic Foundation raises money to support Team Canada and the Canadian sport system that powers their performances. Canada’s Olympic athletes bring our country’s values of excellence, fairness, human development, leadership and peace to life. Few sights inspire national pride and unite the country as powerfully as the Canadian flag flying above all others on the podium. We now expect our athletes to make us proud! But Olympic heroes aren’t built overnight. Pursuing the podium in sport requires long-term vision and funding. Daily training, year-round coaching, proper nutrition, breakthroughs in technology in sport science, national and international competitions, and state-of-the-art equipment are all essential in propelling our athletes to the top of the podium. Canada must support athletes five to twelve years out from the Olympic Games to achieve results at Tokyo 2020 and beyond. That’s where we come in.
