The Sport for Life Canadian Summit brings together leaders who work to enhance the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada. Sport for Life recognizes that quality sport and physical literacy offer rich benefits to Canadian society through improved health, stronger communities, higher sporting achievement, and stronger national identity. By improving sport, Sport for Life aims to improve the lives of all Canadians.

The 2017 Sport for Life Canadian Summit will take place January 24 - 26 at the Hilton Lac-Leamy Hotel, in Gatineau, QC Canada.

The 2017 Summit will focus on nurturing excellence. The term “excellence” can be described as achieving outstanding results, and it can be realized in any number of ways – through personal achievement, organizational or system effectiveness, or by changing the culture of an entire nation for the better. The concept of nurturing excellence suggests that an environment can be created in which excellence can flourish, both in quality and scale, through the intentional actions of an individual or group.
