On behalf of the Sport for Life organization, we hope you are getting as excited about the 2025 Sport for Life Summit as we are! As we gear up for the event, which takes place at the Hilton Lac-Leamy in Gatineau from January 21 to 23, we’re thrilled to announce that registration is now open. Our early bird rates are available now through November 25, 2024.

Note: Space is limited – register early! 

Summit Theme: Joy for Everyone

Joy for Everyone celebrates the essence of fun and enjoyment in sport and recreation at every stage of the pathway. By centring our efforts on creating joyful experiences, we can build social connections, support mental wellness, and enhance physical literacy for every participant. People who enjoy their sport experience stay engaged in sport for longer. Increased participation and retention rates lead to stronger, more successful sport systems in Canada. Focusing on the fun and joyful aspects of sport, we can work to dismantle barriers and foster a lifelong engagement in sport and physical activity. 

Let’s join together to share ways to cultivate a sport and physical activity ecosystem that is joyous and inclusive, where individuals feel safe, welcome, and integral through every stage of their pathway from an Active Start to the Podium Pathway or being Active for Life.

Don’t miss this opportunity to join thought leaders, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in shaping the future of quality sport and physical activity in Canada. The 2025 Sport for Life Summit is where innovation, collaboration, and meaningful connections happen! Our full program will be available in the coming weeks. We will announce it when it’s ready, and you can also find it on our website. 

If you have any questions or need assistance with registration, please contact Shelley Roddie at [email protected]. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Gatineau and shaping the future of quality sport and physical activity together!
