Field Hockey Canada Announce Grants To Aid Community Hockey Projects

Field Hockey Canada (FHC) is proud to announce funding to the sum of $800,000 over two years specifically directed towards Community Sport for All Initiative. CSAI funding is directed at removing barriers and increasing sport participation rates for under-represented groups. Its key objective is to support community sport initiatives for under-represented groups, in particular, Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQI+, low-income people, persons with a disability, newcomers and seniors to increase participation and retention in sport.

Field Hockey Canada is delighted to announce the opening of the application window for the Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) grants, supported by the Government of Canada.

This initiative aims to eliminate barriers to sport participation, making field hockey accessible, inclusive, and affordable for underserved communities across Canada and Field Hockey Canada is proud to have already disbursed over half a million into community projects over the past three years. In doing so we continue to execute our strategic priority to create a strong domestic hockey nation which is inclusive, safe and accessible to all from coast to coast to coast.

Community organizations, clubs, and groups are encouraged to apply for funding under three specific project areas:

Stick Together
Walking Hockey: Designed for seniors (55+) and individuals with limited mobility, Walking Hockey promotes physical activity and social engagement through a modified, low-impact version of field hockey. This program aligns with FHC’s strategic priority to enhance opportunities for this currently underserved demographic, ensuring participation at minimal or no cost. FHC believes all clubs across Canada should be offering this type of programming to serve local communities and through this funding, can support clubs and communities activating successful Walking Hockey projects.
