Description
Large international and national events such as the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championship and Davis Cup tennis are funded through a hosting program. The program focuses on the hosting of single-sport events (e.g. world championships, world cups) and special-focus events such as the North American Outgames or Maccabi Games.Funding (typically ranging from $25,000 to $125,000) is provided on a case-by-case basis to events that cannot be accommodated through the Hosting BC program. These events are generally governed by a sport's or games’ international federation (or regional counterpart), have a qualification process and entry restrictions and are identified as part of the national sport organization's high-performance and long-term development plans for national team athletes.
