TORONTO (May 13, 2025) – Canadian Sport Institute Ontario (CSIO) and AthletesCAN are proud to announce their community partnership renewal through to March 2027.
The purpose of the partnership is two-fold – to enhance the collaboration between CSIO and AthletesCAN to better share and promote key resources to national team athletes, and to leverage the collective reach of both organizations within the high performance sport community to ensure effective communication to its audience.
Through this partnership CSIO affiliated athletes will have access to AthletesCAN’s resources, educational programs, and services offered to its membership of over 6,000 current and recently-retired Canadian senior national team athletes.
