Hosting BC

ViaSport British Columbia is leading the provincial sport sector to create more equitable, welcoming and inclusive opportunities to sport participation in B.C. By reducing barriers and ensuring quality sport experiences, viaSport’s grant programs aim to grow participation among under-represented groups and from under-represented areas of the province, support coach development, encourage regional, provincial and international sport hosting and support travel costs for youth.

• The goals of the Hosting BC grant program are to strengthen sport, economic, and community impacts in alignment with one of the provincial priorities of high performance sport excellence; generate economic and tourism impacts in the host community; help communities, organizations, and volunteers enhance their event hosting capacity to attract larger, more prestigious events; build BC’s international profile and reputation as an exceptional major event host; and support the high performance development pathway for BC’s athletes based on the Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) framework.
