In September 7, 2013, Tokyo has been chosen to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic games. In order to host the event, MEXT and related sport associations have been developing the sport environments such as to establish new sport facilities for top athletes. However, little attention has been given to conduct the development of sport environments and facilities for Paralympic athletes. Therefore, this report investigated the four following examples by focusing on the relationship between Canadian disabled associations and base facilities: (a) Sport Canada in Ottawa, (b) Canadian Paralympic Committee in Ottawa, (c) Canadian Sport Institute Ontario Ontario in Toronto, and (d) Abilities Centre in Toronto. On the basis of the results, we found that Canadian disabled associations and base facilities have been well-developed sport environments for Paralympic athletes compared with Japan. In particular, Canada has been conducting strategies to improve social inclusion between abled person and disabled person through interviews and facilities tours. The findings suggest that Japanese government should adapt strategies of social inclusion based on Canada and need to establish cooperative shared facilities for Paralympic athletes and disabled person.
