Judo Regional Championships will take place this March
Nearly 140 sport organizations throughout B.C. are benefiting from $1 million in support from the province to host sport-related events that attract visitors to B.C. and enable athletes to compete at home."Sport events of all sizes motivate athletes to grow and inspire others to play," said Lana Popham, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport.
“These events also help create vibrant, active and connected communities, and they boost our reputation as a prime destination for sports." The Province supports several events of local, provincial, national and international importance through two separate grant programs: the Major Events Program and Hosting BC.
Past events in Prince George that have received funding from these grants include the cross country skiing national championships which took place from Jan 19 to 21 and received $10,000 as well as the Biathlon Provincial Championship that took place from Feb 25 to 25 and received $2,000.
