Branch Mandate

The Sport and Recreation Branch develops, implements and partners in strategies to address systemic issues and opportunities for sport and physical activity. These strategies focus on the settings in which sport and physical activity occur – communities, schools, homes, workplaces and organized sport – from playground to podium.

The branch develops, implements, and advises on public policy that guides government decision-making in respect to sport and physical activity. It also develops and maintains inter- and intra-government partnerships to ensure that British Columbia’s sport interests are well-represented in health, social and economic activities.
