Canada's amateur sports system will receive $72 million from a federal government emergency support fund to alleviate the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Federal Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault recently announced $500 million in pandemic relief to cultural, heritage and sport organizations.The money earmarked for sports will go to national and provincial organizations, Canadian sport institutes and Indigenous sport groups.

"We will try to save all our organizations and to help everybody," Guilbeault told The Canadian Press on Friday. "We may not be able to, but we will try. "What's important to say is all the money being announced today is for amateur sports and our Olympic athletes, so there's nothing for professional sports," Guilbeault said.National sport organizations and institutes will receive $34.5 million, provinces and territories $32.5 million and the Athlete Assistance Program $5 million.

"We remain committed to playing our role in COVID-19 relief and recovery in concert with our partners at the Government of Canada.view larger image

Booo!! Bankrupting our future and indebting ourchildren/grandchildren on purpose. Shameful

Dr.Susan Nattrass comes to mind. And Avianna Chao.

RalphGoodale Great. How about local theatre companies?

It’s like he’s trying to get a world record in unnecessary spending... TrudeauMustGo

It's almost as if they are deliberately making sure every other possible group including Africa, WHO and now amateur athletes are getting money before giving anything to fixed income Canadians. Did Gerry and/or Justin have a bad relationship with their Grammie?

Why now pro sports will be asking for money too

RalphGoodale Because with 3 million unemployed Canadians this is important

When will this unnecessary spending end

RalphGoodale Canada Council $55 million.

So there are people who cannot afford rent or food but hey, let’s give money to sports. Bright!

Another vote buying caper by comrade Trudeau. No oversight no debate no brain get parliament back to work now

WTF?
