About Us

The Ottawa Sport Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to representing and supporting sport in the nation’s capital. We are recognized by the City as the leading voice for amateur sport in Ottawa. We believe there should only be positive experiences in sport.

Through education, advocacy, and philanthropy, we strive to create sport environments that everyone can enjoy regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, culture, income-level and ability. We work to:

  • Enhance the value of community sport experiences through the sharing of educational resources and creation of opportunities to learn best practices
  • Enrich the sporting experience by advocating for inclusion and access in all community sport environments
  • Support the development and growth of community sport by creating and sharing funding opportunities

Amateur sport is thriving in Ottawa. To support its vitality, we work with a network of partners including the City of Ottawa Recreation, Culture and Facility Services Department, grassroots community sport organizations, hosting organizations, and provincial and national sport organizations.
