2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund Now Accepting Applications
As a result of the high level of federal, provincial, community and Host Society investment into our Island communities, the 2023 Canada Games Host Society is committed to developing a meaningful and impactful Legacy Program that will benefit sport and communities for generations to come.
“Thanks to the efforts and support of host society staff, many volunteers, sponsors, funding partners, and strong financial management, the Host Society will have a financial surplus of approximately $5.5 million dollars,” says 2023 Canada Games Chair Wayne Carew.
The purpose the 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund is to develop and build upon the legacies of the past Games in a way that benefits sport throughout Prince Edward Island. The 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund will complement and not duplicate the exceptional results of the 2009 Canada Games Dreams and Champions Program that will continue to exist in Prince Edward Island.
The Host Society has partnered with the Community Foundation of PEI to distribute the financial legacy to Provincial Sport Organizations (PSO), Partner Municipalities (preference given), and provincial not-for-profit organizations.
Applications for the 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund will be accepted between May 13th, 2024 and September 30th, 2024 through the PEI Grant Application Portal, administered by the Community Foundation of PEI.
