Olympic athletes get gold in federal budget - extra $17 million a year
Description
Canada's elite summer and winter athletes got gold in Thursday's federal budget - an extra $17 million a year for the next two years. That's on top of the $47 million the government already spends each year on their programs.
The Own the Podium organization, which helps fund winter Olympians, will see its core annual federal funding doubled to $22 million.
Road to Excellence, which supports summer athletes, will see another $6 million annually tacked on to its current federal contribution of $36 million.
