COC announces $2.6 million in funding for Canadian teams competing at Pan Ams

TORONTO - The Canadian Olympic Committee says a one-time $2.6-million contribution will be made to Canadian teams competing at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto.

The funding is part of the COC's recently announced investment of almost $100 million for Olympic sports over the next four years.

COC president Marcel Aubut has promised a series of more detailed announcements across the country to flesh out where the money will be spent.

He has said the money will be part of the 2013 to 2016 high-performance action plan for athletes, coaches and national sport federations.
