The BC Athlete Assistance Program (BCAAP) is an athlete-centered program of financial assistance funded by the Province of British Columbia and administered by the Sport Branch of the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. BCAAP seeks to recognize and support BC high performance athletes striving to represent the Province and/or Canada in athletic competition. Athletes who have demonstrated the potential and commitment to attain this level of excellence can qualify for different levels of financial support based on relative levels of development and competition achieved within the overall limits of funds available. The program seeks to relieve some of the pressures associated with training and competition needs when participating in provincial, national and international sport events. The purpose of the PSO component of the BCAAP is to provide financial support to partially offset training and competition costs for qualified BC high performance athletes striving to achieve podium performances while representing British Columbia at Canada Games and/or Canada at identified international multi-sport games.
Program Objectives
To focus support to athletes in the “training to train” and “training to compete” stages of Canadian Sport for Life – Long Term Athlete Development Model;
