Our Petro-Canada FACE program.
Living by the leaf means supporting those who wear it.
Every year, we select 55 up-and-coming athletes and their coaches from across Canada to receive a FACE™, or Fuelling Athlete and Coaching Excellence, grant. We give the grants to athletes when they need it the most – when they are striving to represent Canada at the Paralympic or Olympic Games but don't yet qualify for government funding.
Working with our National Sports Organization.
The National Sports Organization nominate candidates across Canada who would benefit the most from a grant. Then, a committee made up of representatives from Petro-Canada™, the Canadian Olympic Committee, the Canadian Paralympic Committee and the Coaching Association of Canada choose the recipients.
Helping athletes on their journey to the podium.
Potential Canadian Olympic athletes and Paralympic athletes are awarded a $10,000 FACE grant to help them along their journey, with $5,000 going directly to the athlete and $5,000 to the athlete's coach. These grants are often used for training, equipment, coach education and travel expenses for competitions.
