National Economic Impact Survey (N.E.I.S.)

Please participate! 


Standardbred Canada (SC) and the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (CTHS) are pleased to announce the development of a National Economic Impact Study.


The two organizations are working with Serecon, a third-party research company, to conduct an economic scan and facilitate key stakeholder interviews through a national survey and provide further analysis.


The goals of the project are:

  • To increase the understanding of the current state of the sector;
  • To identify and articulate the economic and social impacts of horse racing across the country;
  • To develop strategic recommendations to ensure the sustainability and inclusivity of the horse racing sector;
  • Socialize findings with key federal government stakeholders


The study will review such economic drivers as cost of ownership, economic contribution from horses, and industry trends.


We encourage all members of the Canadian horse racing sector to take part in this important industry survey!


DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, JANUARY 20TH
