  • CFC recognized by Canadian Olympic Committee

    The CFC is listed as a recognized sports organization by the Canadian Olympic Committee much like FIDE is recognized by the IOC.

      It should make it easier to get sponsorship from government and private sources. It could also help with a return to a status where we could apply for a somewhat equivalent to charitable status as a sporting federation.

        Congratulations and kudos to Vlad, the Executive and the Voting Members who worked so relentlessly to achieve this recognition!

        It is a real breakthrough. Here's hoping for many good things ahead for Canadian chess.

          Well said Vadim, especially the part about the relentless efforts by our chess leadership. This is quite the great pseudo-political moment for Canadian chess, WOWZA!

              I only just found out about it and informed the board. I have been getting lots of emails about Canadian Olympic Committee goings on including a survey about a future Olympics and figured that our application must have been successful. I did a google search on Chess Federation of Canada and Canadian Olympic Committee and it was near the bottom of the first page of results.
