Building on the success of the Games, the Canada Games Council has broadened its focus from Games only, to Games and between Games initiatives. This new focus on resources, programs, activities, tools and events for Canada’s youth between the Games, 52 weeks a year, is called Dreams and Champions.

The first goal of Dreams and Champions is to Inspire Dreams in Canada’s youth and encourage them to participate in sport and physical activity.

The second goal is to Build Champions by providing the programs, tools and support young athletes need to reach and succeed at higher levels.

Over the next several years, the Canada Games Council will work with other partners in Canada’s sport system to build the inventory of programs within Dreams and Champions so that more young Canadians have access to what they need to get involved and stay involved in sport and physical activity.
