I'm Voting for Sport

On October 19, British Columbians are headed to the polls. We need your voice and your vote to support sport.

It is critical for BC’s next government to prioritize and invest in accessible, affordable and inclusive Sport to ensure all British Columbians have the opportunity to thrive.   We need the voice of sport to be heard and ask for your assistance in sending a clear message to candidates on the importance of investing in sport.

You know that sport provides tremendous opportunities to create positive experiences for all British Columbians -- you are at the centre of bringing these opportunities to life and we value and appreciate your commitment!

The benefits of community sport extend beyond individual health and wellness. Sport can serve as a generator of social capital, creating benefits across a broad spectrum of societal goals including child and youth development, crime prevention, economic development, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. Sport has so much to offer - yet, much of its tremendous potential remains untapped.

We want all parties and candidates who will form the next provincial government to understand your commitment to sport and understand how inclusive and accessible sport creates healthy communities.

Your voice is critical to ensuring that candidates not only understand the importance of sport, but also commit to investing resources to untap the incredible potential within our communities.

Here is how you can join the campaign: https://sportbc.com/votingforsport2024/.

To start the conversation around how sport benefits us all, here is your Voting for Sport Advocacy Toolkit designed by Sport BC in consultation with its members. This toolkit is intended to be a resource for you, your members, participants, and volunteers -- to build awareness about the importance of amateur organized sport, and to advocate for the resources we all need to support sport in each of our communities.
