New: Canadian amateur sports is in peril, according to a new report commissioned by the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee.
The federal government has not increased its core funding to national sports organizations since 2005, while costs for travel, logistics and coaching have skyrocketed.
Canada Basketball CEO Michael Bartlett said unless the federal government acts, the organization may not be able to afford having Canadian NBA stars play for their country in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Let's make a pact! Listening with empathy is so critical. Unacceptable behavior not addressed in the moment becomes acceptable behavior. Believe people and understand how it feels. AND create a culture where that is NOT ok. Watch for #microaggressions. #mentalhealth#antiracism
