Great news for community sport lovers! The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) has opened applications for the Reaching Each and Every One (REEO) Initiative 2025, supported by Sport Canada. This national funding program is here to help organizations make sport more inclusive and accessible across the country.

What’s REEO All About?

The initiative is designed to support nearly 60 non-profit organizations with grants ranging from $2,500 to $25,000. The focus is on creating welcoming, inclusive spaces in recreational sport—especially for:

• Indigenous communities

• Racialized groups

• Persons with disabilities

• And anyone who has faced barriers to participating in sport

It’s about breaking down walls and opening doors so that everyone has the chance to play, grow, and thrive.

Key Dates to Remember

Why This Matters

Sports are not just about competition—they are about community, connection, and opportunity. By supporting organizations across Canada, REEO is helping more people step onto the field, court, or trail with confidence and belonging.
