2010 Legacies Now
2010 Legacies Now provides opportunities for people
to reach for their dreams and more. The concept –
developing a sport legacy in the years prior to an
Olympic and Paralympic Games – is a world first. It was
integral to Vancouver being chosen in 1998 as Canada’s
nominee for the 2010 Winter Games.
Legacies Now embraces the spirit of 2010, with new
initiatives to bring out the best in sport, music, arts,
culture and volunteerism. Over $35 million in one-time
funding is being invested to
support these initiatives.
Legacies Now’s Sport and Recreation Now program will improve
British Columbia’s performance
at national and international competitions, as well as
lead to healthier communities by introducing youth and
communities to the joy of sport and physical activity
and providing promising young athletes with the tools
and services they need to develop.
The Sport and Recreation Now initiative includes
Hosting BC™,
Sport Tourism workshops,
SportWeb and
Action
Schools BC!. For more information about these and other
