BC Athlete Assistance Program

• Program Objectives
• Application Process and Forms

The PSO BC Athlete Assistance Program (BC AAP) focuses on support to those athletes who are in the position to compete for Team BC at the Canada Games and are just below those receiving Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program funding (S1/S2 carding levels).

Program Objectives

• To focus support to athletes in the “training to compete” and “training to win” stages of Canadian Sport for Life – Long Term Athlete Development Model;
• To contribute to improved performances of Team BC athletes at the Canada Games; and
• To increase the number of British Columbia athletes reaching federal carding status thus expanding British Columbia representation on national teams and at eligible major international multi-sport Games.

Application Process and Forms

Each eligible PSO (list provided in BC AAP PSO or Athletes with a Disability Guidelines, Policies and Procedures document) will have developed sport specific selection criteria based on the criteria outlined in the BC Athlete Assistance Program guidelines, policies and procedures document. This document as well as the Athlete Application Form can be downloaded from the links on the right.
