About Athletes in Action

Athletes in Action Canada was established in 1974 when a group of professional athletes and Campus Crusade for Christ ministry leaders got together with the purpose of telling others about the hope they found in Christ. From that initiative began an athletic movement in Canada designed to impact the nation. Within months, Athletes in Action Canada began a widespread expansion to university campuses across the country followed by the first annual Grey Cup Breakfast in 1978 and summer sport camps in 1979. Today, Athletes in Action Canada continues to influence a number of sporting communities with a presence on over 25 university campuses, and running more than 150 sport camps each summer.
