The organization
via Sport BC (“via Sport”) is an independent not-for-profit organization and a legacy of the Vancouver Olympics and Paralympic Games, operating as the provincial government’s lead agency responsible for promoting and developing amateur sport in British Columbia.
via Sport’s purpose is to lead the development and growth of amateur sports in BC by working closely with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport to steward the provincial government investment in amateur sports. via Sport works collaboratively with all Designated Organizations in BC to build a stronger, more effective sports system while striving to work across the amateur sports eco-system and all stakeholders to build public trust and confidence in the BC sports sector.
In collaboration with 70+ provincial sports organizations, via Sport fosters safe, inclusive, and meaningful sports experiences, recruits and trains coaches, implements athlete development programs, and supports community clubs. via Sport works closely with federal, provincial, and municipal governments, Indigenous leaders, and communities throughout the province. We also partner at the community, provincial, and national levels with sports sector peers, including the Canadian Olympic Committee, Canadian Women and Sport, Canadian Centre for Child Protection, I-SPARC, and many more.
