Sport Canterbury, established in 1989 as the Regional Sports Trust for Waitaha Canterbury/Te Tai Poutini West Coast, is dedicated to fostering community and connection through play, active recreation and sport.

For more than 30 years, we've empowered coaches, clubs and athletes, recognising the profound impact of play, active recreation and sport in building stronger communities and enhancing self-esteem. Collaborating with health and education partners, we improve the wellbeing of our whānau through initiatives including Healthy Families Ōtautahi, Healthy Active Learning, Community Strength and Balance and Workplace First Aid. By joining forces with health and education partners, we forge a path to even greater achievements, enriching the lives of our whānau.
