Barriers to sport participation
There are many reasons cited for the lack of participation in sports by Canadians. According to Statistics Canada, a common barrier was the cost of participation, reported by 11% of people who did not play sports. Koreans (20%), West Asians (20%), and Latin Americans (17%) were nearly twice as likely as non-racialized Canadians (10%) to cite this barrier.
