The Ottawa Sport Council is committed to continuing to serve our role as a leader for amateur and community sport. Our position as a champion of community sport is recognized by the City of Ottawa, and it is one that we are proud to hold in the community. We are committed to acting in the best interests of the community sport sector and driving policy and program improvements to continue advancing those interests. 

The Ottawa Sport Council is committed to supporting community sport participation, reduce barriers and increase accessibility for equity deserving populations. In order to provide this support, the Ottawa Sport Council created the Ottawa Sport Council Foundation.

Each year the OSC Foundation aims to award grant funding to two community sport programs in Ottawa.  Past recipients of grant funding include:

• Nepean Sailing Club’s “ABLE Sail Learn to Sail” Program
• Rideau Canoe Club’s Special Olympics/Para Canoe Program
• The City of Ottawa’s Ringette for All Program

This program could not exist without the generous donations of our members. To donate, click here and choose Ottawa Sport Council Foundation. All donations qualify for a tax receipt.

Advisory Committees

Sports for Athletes with a Disability Committee

Led by the Abilities Centre Ottawa, the committee has compiled resources, documents and links to help create awareness and inform the sport community on the importance of inclusion and accessibility, to support quality participation and physical activity for all, and to support athletes with a disability. The committee, and the Ottawa Sport Council, is committed to supporting organizations, parents and participants when it comes to inclusive, accessible and safe sporting environments and programs for athletes with a disability.
