Champion

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:

Ottawa Sport Council is pleased to partner with Their Opportunity to deliver the 2024 Ottawa Sport Council Foundation Community Opportunity Grant. Their Opportunity is a national children’s charity that delivers and subsidizes community sport and engagement programming to eliminate barriers of access and empower youth to reach their full potential through sport.

The 2024 grant window will open on May 13, 2024
