Introduction
This report was prepared by Ipsos Reid, Canada’s largest market research firm, on behalf of the
Canadian Sporting Goods Association.
-------------------Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this report is confidential and proprietary
to Ipsos and may not be disclosed or reproduced without the prior written consent of Ipsos.
-------------------Except where otherwise noted, all information in this report is based on survey data from a
representative sample of consumers, all of whom are members of the Ipsos panel in Canada.
Ipsos adheres to industry best practices in designing and conducting its research surveys. As

Report Accuracy
The survey for this report was administered to a sample of consumers drawn at random from the
Ipsos online panel in Canada. Weighting was employed to balance demographics to ensure that the
sample's composition reflects that of the Canadian household population according to Statistics
Canada census data and to provide results intended to approximate the entire population.
-------------------Sample size and report accuracy vary by category. For instance, for a sample size of 1,500 the results
can be considered accurate within ±2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, of what they would
have been had the entire population been surveyed at random. A sample of 1,000 would be
accurate within ±3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. While for a sample of 500, the margin of
error would be ±4.4 percentage points. The margin of error will be larger when the data is broken
out within market segments.
