Details to come
Community of practice component
A community of practice gathering several actors of the sport community in the east end of Montreal will meet a few times a year in order to exchange on their initiatives mainly focused on the inclusion of youth through sport.
Reasons for the program
Organized sport is a great tool for positive youth development.
Too many young people are unable to participate in organized sports or, worse, are forced to give up their favourite sport because of financial constraints related to the cost of membership in association clubs.
Organized sport creates supportive, inclusive and safe living environments.
Montreal's sports clubs and associations were particularly affected by the health restrictions, mainly because of the decrease in their revenues associated with registration to their activities.
