Those organizations which make up the Canadian Sport delivery system have been somewhat neglected as a focus for researchers in the sociology of sport. This paper suggests a number of reasons as to why this situation has arisen. It also suggests that in Canada there are a number of issues about organizations that are implicit, if not explicit, within the sport literature. Focusing specifically on the issues of bureaucratization, gender, leadership. professionalization, dependence on government and organizational change, this paper highlights completed work and suggests how approaches found in organizational sociology and organizational theory could help inform further studies on these topics
