Action Sports Association

The Action Sports Association (ASA) supports the development of major action sports events, primarily in Montreal, and works to strengthen the long-term sustainability of established events while encouraging new initiatives. It provides active governance for the projects it supports, overseeing partnerships among private service providers, institutions, and public programs. ASA also promotes rigorous, transparent management of public funds and clear accountability to funders.

Through its work, the association aims to create social, economic, and sporting benefits for communities and inspire young people to take part in action sports. Its values include integrity, community engagement, innovation, sustainability, equity, and inclusion. These principles guide its support for projects that are responsibly managed, environmentally respectful, economically viable, socially sustainable, and accessible to diverse audiences.

ASA’s featured events include JACKALOPE Montréal, APIK Montréal, and the Crankworx Summer Series in Québec. The organization also invites people to get involved and works with community partners to help action sports initiatives grow.
