Canada Games FAST Track Program 2010 Guidelines

The Canada Games Council (CGC) and the Foundation for Athletes and Sport Training (FAST) have partnered to build the Canada Games FAST Track athlete grant program. The program will provide direct financial assistance to Canada’s next generation national team athletes by providing a one time grant to support training and competition needs. The grant is designed to fill a gap in Canada’s sport system and support Canada Games-level athletes who are targeted by their respective National Sport Organizations and are on the pathway to excellence at the national team level.

The Canada Games FAST Track athlete grant represents one of the many programs under the Canada Games Council’s Dreams and Champions Program, a between-Games initiative. This is the third year that the Foundation for Athletes and Sport Training has partnered with the Canada Games Council, but the fourth year where FAST has distributed such grants to next generation national team athletes. This grant has been funded in Ontario in part through matching funds donated by the Government of Ontario and administered through FAST.
