Sports and Leisure
In 2005, 5.6 million Canadians (based on data from Statistics Canada) participated in organized sports or in other more informal active leisure activities such as jogging or walking. Physical fitness is important to our overall health and well-being.
According to the Conference Board of Canada, major sporting events attract thousands of Canadians each year, and contributed 1.2% of Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2004. The recent 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics were major world sporting events held in Vancouver and Whistler, British Columbia.
