Hosting BC™
Hosting BC™ provides grants to BC communities to host national and international sport events.
Hosting BC is a partnership of the Province of British Columbia, Tourism British Columbia and 2010 Legacies Now. These partners are committed to building BC’s reputation as a premier sport event destination and maximizing sport hosting opportunities leading up to, and beyond the 2010 Winter Games.
Between 2004 and 2009, Hosting BC invested $2.7 million in 34 communities to host 197 events. Funding was given to host committees throughout the province holding events at the junior, senior and university levels.
Hosting BC grants supported Canadian championships, World Cups and Olympic Games qualifying tournaments. From an international wheelchair curling bonspiel in Richmond to a national college soccer championship in Kamloops, Hosting BC assisted communities in bringing sport events home.
See the most recent events funded through Hosting BC from the March 2009 intake.

Applying for Hosting BC grants
The Hosting BC grant program has been suspended for the 2009-2010 fiscal year. Due to significant over-subscription of the program, the program is currently under review and will be revisited again next year. If you would like to keep updated on the Hosting BC grant program, please check this website for postings in 2010.
For all questions regarding the Hosting BC grant program please email hostingbc(at)2010LegaciesNow.com.
The Hosting BC brand
Hosting BC has its own logo, design and brand, which allows 2010 Legacies Now to support events alongside sponsors who may be outside the Olympic and Paralympic family without infringing on pre-arranged sponsor and partner agreements.
Hosting BC Logo Request
The Hosting BC logo can only be used by events with confirmed funding from Hosting BC.
