Sport Participation in Canada
Statistics Canada has just released the Sport Participation in Canada, 2005 survey results. From the website:
“This report looks at sport participation by Canadians. It takes into account certain socio-economic variables such as age, sex, income, education and family composition that may influence the level of involvement. It uses historical data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to show the level and rate of participation over time. The report also looks at the kinds of sports Canadians like to play, the influence of parental involvement on their children’s participation, the rationale for participation or non participation in sport, and the barriers to sport participation.”
