For our athletes who compete on the world stage a fraction of a second can mean everything.
The difference between qualifying for the Games or not. Between a podium finish or heartbreak. Between a personal best and just missing out. That razor-thin margin—sometimes no more than the blink of an eye—defines careers, dreams, and legacies. For over 20 years spanning Athens 2004 to the upcoming Milano 2026 Games CAN Fund has been a cornerstone for thousands of athletes across summer, winter, able-bodied and Paralympic sports impacting their journey by providing direct financial support.
Becoming a CAN Fund Recipient not only gives athletes access to vital funding but also the freedom to decide how to best use these funds to support their pursuit of competing for Canada. Whether for coaching, equipment, travel, nutrition, extra physio, team fees or basic living expenses – it’s this ability to choose and to better afford the resources and opportunities to help them make the most of their time that has the greatest impact. It’s time spent training, competing, recovering and preparing – because for the best athletic talent in our country Every Second Counts and as you will see can make all the difference.
