But today, many of these athletes face a challenging reality. Rising costs and increasing financial pressures within Canada’s sport system mean that too many must personally contribute thousands of dollars for the opportunity to compete internationally.To help address this challenge, the Commonwealth Sport Canada Foundation has launched the Commonwealth Team Canada 50/50 Raffle in Ontario. Proceeds will directly support Team Canada athletes on their journey at the Commonwealth Games and beyond, helping reduce financial barriers so Canada’s best can focus on what they do best: representing our nation with pride.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Every ticket purchased helps support Canadian athletes — and sends a powerful message that Canadians stand behind those who dedicate themselves to pursuing excellence on the world stage.“Every Commonwealth athlete’s journey begins in a local community,” said Brian MacPherson, CEO of Commonwealth Sport Canada. “The 50/50 Raffle gives Ontarians a simple, exciting way to stand behind Team Canada and help ensure financial barriers don’t stand between our athletes and their dreams of representing our country on the international stage.”Ontario residents can purchase tickets online at https://cwsport5050.ca/.
