The Quebec government announced on July 14, 2026 that it is providing additional financial assistance to two provincial organisations, Fillactive and Égale Action. The new funds are intended to further the development of women’s sport across the province and reinforce ongoing efforts to increase female participation in athletics.
Fillactive and Égale Action have been active in promoting opportunities for women and girls to engage in sport and physical activity. The extra assistance will allow the groups to expand existing programmes, develop new initiatives, and improve access to training resources for athletes at various levels. Both organisations have previously received provincial support as part of Quebec’s broader strategy to encourage gender‑balanced involvement in sport.
The announcement comes as part of a continued pattern of funding allocations by the Quebec government aimed at groups that foster female participation in athletics. By directing resources toward established partners such as Fillactive and Égale Action, officials hope to build on prior successes and address remaining gaps in the province’s sports landscape. The government has indicated that the added assistance reflects a commitment to sustaining momentum in the sector rather than a one‑off contribution.
Stakeholders in the province’s sports community have welcomed the move, noting that consistent financial backing is essential for long‑term programme stability. The additional funding is expected to enable the two groups to reach more participants, enhance coaching quality, and strengthen partnerships with schools and community centres. As the province works toward greater gender equity in sport, the support for Fillactive and Égale Action represents a concrete step in that direction.
