About

POWERING SPORT
The provincial network of PacificSport Centres works in collaboration with community partners and key stakeholders to support increased sport participation and improved sport performance throughout BC.

Story

A legacy of the 1995 Western Canada Summer Games, PacificSport Fraser Valley was created specifically to serve the athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers of British Columbia’s Fraser Valley. By providing a variety of innovative services and programs, the Centre helps athletes earn medals for Canada while introducing sport opportunities to the region’s youth.

Currently meeting the needs of almost 200 registered athletes and coaches, PacificSport Fraser Valley, operating from offices in Langley and Abbotsford, is affiliated with nine provincially identified coaches and is connected to a network of five PacificSport centres around the province and three campuses of Canadian Sport Institute.

Through our partnership with the Province of BC and viaSport, the network of PacificSport Centres, in partnership with Canadian Sport Institute Pacific, collaborates to deliver programs and services to support the full continuum of sport participation to sport excellence. The Centres work jointly to encourage growth in sport participation at the grassroots level and increase podium performances in communities throughout British Columbia.

Working in support of our national, provincial and regional sport partners, the PacificSport network is creating a stronger system for the development of athletes, coaches and performance enhancement teams and facilities. In the Fraser Valley region, PacificSport Fraser Valley has identified four strategic areas on which to focus: Participation, Partnerships, Performance and Sustainability.

PacificSport Centres are catalysts in promoting the Canadian Sport for Life movement to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada. Through partnerships with recreation departments, school districts, health authorities and local sport organizations, efforts are underway toward aligning programming with the Canadian Sport for Life model.
