The sport ecosystem on the island of Montreal is made up of a variety of players with distinct, complementary and sometimes overlapping roles. This page is intended, among other things, as a tool to summarize the roles and responsibilities of the main entities that make up the territory's sport community.
One of the roles of the Conseil du sport de Montréal is to mobilize the various players in the sport community to support sport development throughout the territory, from discovery to high performance. To achieve this, the Conseil du sport works collaboratively on different groups and committees to help resolve certain issues affecting sport organizations.
