Exciting News: Disc Golf PEI Receives $22,500 in Funding from 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund!

We’re excited to announce that Disc Golf PEI has been awarded $22,500 in funding from the 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund! This support will allow us to launch an ambitious series of instructional disc golf clinics across all three counties, reaching 27 different communities over the next two years.

Expanding Access to Disc Golf Across PEI

Over the past two years, Disc Golf PEI has made significant strides in developing the competitive disc golf scene on the Island. However, introducing new players to the sport has been more challenging due to limited resources and the small size of our volunteer base. While we’ve been able to run clinics for 500 Islanders of all ages—from kids’ camps to post-secondary sessions and adult-focused clinics—most of these have taken place near established courses in Charlottetown, Summerside, and Three Rivers.

With this Canada Games Legacy Fund grant, we’re finally able to expand beyond these core areas and bring accessible, high-quality instruction to communities across PEI, from Tignish to Montague and beyond!

66 Introduction to Sport Clinics will take place across all three PEI counties.

What This Means for Disc Golf on PEI

  • 🥏 More Clinics, More Players – Our goal is to triple our reach, introducing over 1,500 new players to disc golf by 2026.

  • 📍 Bringing the Game to You – We’re hosting clinics in communities that played a role in the 2023 Canada Winter Games, plus additional locations like Souris and Murray Harbour.

  • 👏 Making the Sport More Inclusive – Whether you’re 5 or 65, a total beginner or looking to refine your skills, these free instructional sessions will help you learn, play, and grow in the sport.

Building for the Future

PEI is already home to 18 disc golf courses, but 85% of them are within 30 minutes of Charlottetown or Summerside. This project is about bringing disc golf to Islanders where they live and fostering a new generation of players and community engagement.

We’re excited about what’s ahead, and we can’t wait to see more people on the course than ever before! Stay tuned for dates and locations as we roll out this exciting initiative in 2025 and 2026.

A huge thank you to the 2023 Canada Games Legacy Fund for investing in the future of disc golf on PEI!
