Become a Champion
A Canadian Sport For Life (CS4L) Champion is a person who is a catalyst to improve the quality of sport or physical activity based on CS4L.
A Champion calls others to action and motivates their peers to work towards improving quality sport in Canada. By serving as credible role models for CS4L, Champions can get the most out of their peers and, ultimately, activate future CS4L champions. This cultivation of capable individuals drives the CS4L movement and Champions serve as pillars of strength for those around them.
