O Squad

Children holding different sports gear
Do your children marvel at watching their favorite athletes on their screens? Do they mimic the moves of their champions as they run around the living room and secretly dream of achieving the perfect score for their team? Then OSQUAD, our new physical literacy program for military kids, presented by Canadian Tire - is for them.  

Developed by the Canadian Olympic Committee Education Program with the participation of the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services, this program will give them confidence in their movement and balance on a daily basis. They will also learn about key Olympic and sport values such as excellence, respect and friendship.  

Now, while we cheer on our gold medal winning Canadian athletes, your children will also have the opportunity to experience the joys of sport and share their inspiration through this unique program. 

O Squad lays a great athletic foundation by training or developing skills such as agility, balance and coordination, and helps kids of all levels find new resources to deal with the challenges of military life.


The O SQUAD program focuses on:

  • Introducing kids to the practice of sports through play 
  • Helping kids discover new sports 
  • Proposes cultural and educational animations around the sports and Olympic values (opening ceremony, medal ceremony, making of fake torches...) 
  • Increasing kids awareness of the benefits of physical activity and sports 
  • Encouraging children to make friends and enjoy sport as a part of their lifestyle
