BC Provincial Sport Development Fund | viaSport BC Sport Participation Program: Provincial Sport Development Fund Deadline: June 1, 2026, 05:00 pm PST The BC Sport Participation Program (BCSPP) Provincial Sport Development Fund is a sport participation program which is supported through bilateral contributions from the Province of BC and the Government of Canada and administered through viaSport British Columbia.
The BCSPP supports programs that attract children, youth, Indigenous and other equity-deserving groups to lead active and healthy lifestyles through involvement in sport while also helping to support communities delivering physical activity programming throughout the province. Programs taking place between July 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, are eligible to apply. What programs are eligible?
The goal of the BCSPP is to support programming and/or partnerships throughout the province that increases sport participation by introducing sport to new participants, teaching physical literacy and fundamental sport skills and/or reducing barriers to those populations that are under-represented in sport.
