Canadians' Sports Participation Shifts From Play To Spectate
A Statistics Canada 2005 survey shows a drop in regular sport participation among Canadians aged 15 plus from 34 percent in 1998 to 28 percent in 2005, across all groups, while spectator involvement rises to 9.2 million. Golf overtakes hockey as the top activity, yet many stay active through classes, jogging, gym workouts, and home activities despite aging, time pressures, and rural Manitoba barriers.
