Seoul, SOUTH KOREA – November 16, 2017
The Government of Canada is pleased with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Foundation Board’s approval of the Executive Committee’s recommendation to renew the Montréal headquarters agreement from 2021 to 2031.
Canada is proud to have hosted the WADA headquarters in Montréal since 2001. The Government of Canada is committed to continue working with Montréal International, the Government of Quebec and the City of Montréal to maintain the headquarters as an important contribution to our country’s commitment to the worldwide anti-doping movement.
The WADA was established jointly by the sport movement and governments in 1999 to harmonize the global fight against doping in sport. The current agreement for the WADA headquarters expires in 2021 and will now be extended for another ten years.
This decision will provide the WADA with long-term stability for its headquarters, which will allow the Agency to continue to focus its efforts and resources on addressing key anti-doping issues in the interest of clean athletes worldwide.

Déclaration des ministres Marc Garneau et Kent Hehr suivant la décision rendue aujourd’hui quant à maintenir le siège social de l’Agence mondiale antidopage à Montréal
Séoul, CORÉE DU SUD – Le 16 novembre 2017
Le gouvernement du Canada est heureux d’apprendre que le Conseil de fondation de l’Agence mondiale antidopage a approuvé la recommandation du Comité exécutif, soit de reconduire de 2021 à 2031 l’entente de manière à maintenir le siège social de l’Agence à Montréal.
Le Canada est fier d’héberger le siège social de l’Agence à Montréal depuis 2001. Le gouvernement du Canada est déterminé à poursuivre sa collaboration avec Montréal International, le gouvernement du Québec et la Ville de Montréal dans le but de conserver le siège social, qui représente une contribution importante de l’engagement de notre pays envers le mouvement antidopage international.
Le mouvement sportif et les gouvernements ont, de concert, fondé l’Agence en 1999 dans le but d’harmoniser la lutte mondiale contre le dopage dans le sport. L’entente actuelle concernant le siège social de l’Agence se termine en 2021 et sera donc prolongée pour 10 autres années.
Cette décision procurera au siège social de l’Agence une stabilité à long terme, de sorte que l’Agence pourra continuer de concentrer ses efforts et ses ressources sur les grands enjeux liés au dopage dans l’intérêt des athlètes propres, et ce, dans le monde entier.
