of the Conseil du sport
du sport de Montréal
The Du sport en plus program is aimed at young people aged 12 to 17 living in the east end of Montreal.
The main aim of the program is to increase sports participation among these young people and enable them to benefit from the positive effects of organized sport.
4 program components
Financial support
Eligible young people can benefit from $275 in financial support to register for activities at participating clubs.
Complementary activities
Young members of sports clubs in the east end of Montreal can benefit from activities in the form of training and workshops.
Athlete Rendezvous section
East-end clubs and associations can register for the Conseil du sport de Montréal's Rendez-vous des athlètes.
Community of practice component
A community of practice bringing together a number of players from Montreal's east-end sports community will meet a few times a year to discuss their initiatives, with a focus on the inclusion of young people through sport.
Program reasons
Organized sport is a fabulous tool for positive youth development.
Too many young people are unable to take part in organized sports or, worse still, are forced to give up their favorite sport because of the financial constraints associated with membership fees.
Organized sports activities help create supportive, inclusive and safe living environments.
Montreal's sports clubs and associations were particularly hard hit by the health restrictions, mainly due to the drop in revenues associated with activity registrations.
