Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Sports Pool Corporation : The Canadian Sports Pool Corporation was established under the Athletic Contests and Events Pool Act of 1983. Its mandate was to operate a weekly pool on professional sporting games like baseball and hockey, which was called Sports Select. It offered a minimum prize pool of 50,000. The money that was made from this pool was targeted to help defray the costs of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, as well as to help support the arts, cultural, health and medical research, and amateur sporting events in Canada.

The Corporation reported to Parliament through the Minister for Fitness and Amateur Sports. It remained an independent entity that maintained its own offices and staff. The Corporation had its own by-laws and maintained 14 offices across the country. It was a run by a chairman and a board of directors. The Canadian Sports Pool Corporation only remained in operation for a year; it was discontinued in November 1984 and officially dissolved by the Federal Government in 1985 under An Act Respecting the Winding up of the Canadian Sports Pool Corporation and Loto Canada Inc. [Assented to 20th June, 1985].
