The Athletes’ Commission represents the voice of Canadian athletes to the Canadian Olympic Committee Board of Directors and is instrumental in presenting their perspectives on policy and program decisions, such as Olympic Team selection, athlete funding and other matters concerning high performance sport in Canada. Composed of active and retired athletes, the Athletes’ Commission forms various subcommittees that work in liaison with the committees of the COC to ensure that the athletes’ point of views and needs are considered.
