About us

Clean Air Champions is a national charity committed to educating Canadians on the importance of air quality and its connections to health. We work with respected, high-caliber athletes to educate and inspire people to adopt practices and lifestyles that improve both environmental and personal health.

Who are the Champions?

Our program ambassadors are Olympic, Paralympic, and National Team athletes from across Canada. These athletes are passionate about promoting physical activity and protecting the environment.

Our organization reaches out to Canadians through our Champions to educate the public about the issues related to air quality and healthy lifestyles. We do this through delivering Clean Air Champions’ programs to youth throughout Canada.
