FUNDING RESOURCE
Providing an up-to-date funding resource to
support sport development in the City of Toronto
8th Edition-Updated Feb 7, 2018
Message from the Chair
On an annual basis the Toronto Sports Council endeavours to update the Funding resource with what we
believe are the most recent sources of funding information available to the sport & recreation community.
We hope it will prove beneficial in supporting growth and development of sport organizations in Toronto.
The Toronto Sports Council sincerely hopes that the Toronto Sport Summit serves to help connect and
inform the members of the Toronto Sports scene with up to date contacts and useful information. In
our role as a “Voice for Sport” in the City events such as the Toronto Sport Summit assist us
in developing and maintaining open lines of communication and we urge you to keep connected by
registering with our database or online at our website: www.torontosportscouncil.ca.
This year the TSC would like to acknowledge and thank, Humber College Sport Management students in
sourcing out the materials, and the Parks Forestry and Recreation Division of the City of Toronto in
undertaking the publication of the package.
Yours in Sport!
Heather Mitchell, Chair
Toronto Sports Council
