It's time for sports to become a true government priority.

Facing a serious issue of chronic underfunding, the sports community is calling on political parties to commit to making sports a genuine priority in Quebec: funding for the network should be increased by $500 million just to catch up on delays and ensure optimal recovery.

To this end, a new coalition within the Quebec sports community has been formed to unite forces and influence political parties during the provincial election campaign: the Coalition for the Future of Sports in Quebec ("Coalition" or "CASQ"). CASQ members represent thousands of associations, groups, sports federations, municipalities, regional units, and millions of athletes.

The lack of funding has real impacts on the ground: decreased participation, fewer volunteers, challenges in recruitment, lack of infrastructure, and safety issues. The sports community needs support.
