Next Gen Initiative: Powering the Next Generation

Olympic success doesn’t happen overnight. Next Gen funding helps provide access to high-level coaching, world-class training environments, competition opportunities and sport medicine expertise. It’s the kind of support that allows young athletes to focus on what it takes to turn potential into performance – development, resilience and confidence. So when their moment arrives, they’re ready.

By investing yearly, we help ensure the next generation of Team Canada’s athletes are ready when it matters most. Your support helps achieve:

• $8 M invested annually to support Next Gen athletes
• 926 athletes supported through Next Gen in 2024-2025
• 41% of Team Canada’s medals at Paris 2024 were won by athletes who received Next Gen support
