Through the sanctioning and hosting of events, and the training and development of coaches and officials, viaSport designated sport organizations help to advance the Ministry’s Pathways to Sport and create sport experiences that are welcoming, diverse, and safe.
Achieving Accredited status also means that organizations are eligible for annual core funding from the Province of BC, exclusive engagement opportunities, and are designated by the National Sport Organization as the provincial organizing body in BC for the sport.
