CAN Active SPACES is the National Infrastructure Database at the core of CAN Active Insights, bringing together verified data on sport, physical activity, recreation, and parks facilities from communities across Canada. It gives municipal, provincial/territorial, and federal planners and programmers, sport and recreation directors, and elected officials a clear, benchmarked view of what infrastructure exists, how it’s being used, and where gaps remain — replacing guesswork with a shared national picture.
With CAN Active SPACES, organizations can identify infrastructure gaps and inequities, align capital investment with population growth and community need, and support long-term asset lifecycle planning. It also strengthens grant applications and funding proposals with credible national benchmarks, and helps reduce the duplication of data collection and analysis across departments.

As well, CAN Active SPACES powers an Activity Finder, which can be set up for your organization’s public-facing website. This AI-powered live link embedded into your webpage will showcase key details on sites, facilities, programs, and booking links, all in one place, making relevant local activity opportunities more discoverable than ever. With constant tracking of any changes in status, the Activity Finder gives both organizations and residents confidence to plan ahead.
