If I may add one additional point, there is an economic argument to be made here as well.
A coalition of concerned stakeholders from the sport, physical activity and recreation community in the greater Calgary area published a report in 2020 showing the economic activity directly attributable to sport, physical activity and recreation within Calgary alone equalled $3.3 billion annually and was accountable for 43,000 jobs.
If we see declining rates continue among adults and children, a major economic impact and jobs impact will ensue. If you're not buying the health benefits and the social benefits of sport, physical activity and recreation, there is a strong economic argument to be made as well.
