Athletes on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast are getting financial support through a new round of community gaming grants. The provincial government says $1.5 million will be invested in not-for-profit sports organizations, with the goal of getting more people into sports, regardless of age or ability. Minister of Municipal Affairs Anne Kang says with multiple sports events such as the FIFA World Cup and Grey Cup coming soon, they know people are inspired by sports. “Through Community Gaming Grants, our government is investing in organizations that give people the chance to compete, to have fun, and to chase their dreams,” said Kang. Through this funding, the grants support organizations focused on different sports, including skiing, swimming, gymnastics, Judo, volleyball, minor hockey, skating, sailing, lacrosse, baseball, curling, football, squash, rowing, kayaking, and water skiing. The $1.5 million will be split throughout different communities on the Island and Coast, according to the province. Groups in Courtenay-Comox will get $288,800, while Campbell River gets $240,800. For Powell River-Sunshine Coast, they are getting $245,800, with Nanaimo seeing the most funding at $474,180. Duncan has the second-lowest funding at $239,800, with Ladysmith seeing the lowest at $21,000. The province adds $25 million will be invested throughout BC, with hopes it can improve the quality of life in multiple communities. For the full list of organizations getting supported, click here.
