Event Hosting and Resort Guide
We are inviting the world to train and host
events in British Columbia.
International and national event organizers and
sport federations are choosing British Columbia as a
sport event destination because time and time again,
British Columbia has demonstrated that it has world-class
facilities, services, people and expertise to
organize and host major events. And, as we approach
the hosting of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and
Paralympic Winter Games, national teams from around
the world are looking to British Columbia as a place
to train and acclimatize in preparation for the 2010 Games.
The
British Columbia Sport Event Hosting and Resort
Guide promotes places to compete, train and play
in British Columbia, Canada.
This guide, a partnership of the Ministry of
Tourism, Sport and the Arts and the 2010 LegaciesNow
Society, is a comprehensive web-based database with
information on resorts, sport facilities and
communities. It allows training and event organizers
from around the world to search by sport, facility,
resort or community to find suitable locations to
host their event and/or training camps. The guide
also provides contact information for a designated
person in each community to assist organizers in
setting up their events.
Former Minister Olga Ilich launched the guide at
the 2006 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in
Torino, Italy before an audience of representatives
from international sport federations, governments,
industry and tourism. Communities are encouraged to
use this guide to help promote their facilities,
resorts and event-hosting capabilities world-wide. |
