Canada’s Olympic team brought home its fewest medals in nearly 40 years, sparking a major government response. New funding is pouring into elite athletes and aging training facilities — including a $52 million upgrade to Calgary’s Olympic Oval, shared between federal and provincial coffers. Athletes also benefit from a $3 million boost to the Athletic Assistance Program, now totaling $43 million annually to support over 1,900 athletes across 90+ sports — including 30 new spots in emerging disciplines. This follows earlier commitments of $660 million over five years for national sports bodies, signaling a long-term push to restore Canada’s global athletic standing.
