According to a recent survey by statistics Canada, sport participation is declining among children. From the mid 1990's to about 2005, sport participation of boys between the ages of 5-14 has decreased from 66% to 56% in Canada. While girls participation has decreased from 49% to about 45%. This could have a major impact on the overall athletic industry, and obesity in Canada. There is currently an obesity epidemic in the U.S. and if Canada does not change the habits of children, we could be looking at the same future as the U.S.
