Sport has the potential to enrich lives. From increased social confidence to mental strength and grit, the return on investment is infinite—and everyone should have access to these benefits. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. Many are forced to overcome barriers to participate, including:
- Financial limitations
- Social inequities
- Cultural deterrents
- Geographic challenges
To help eliminate these obstacles—and make local sport more accessible—the Ottawa Sport Council (OSC) partnered with the Ottawa Community Foundation and Their Opportunity to create the Ottawa Sport Council Foundation Endowment Fund.
