The Local Sport Relief Fund covers administration and operational costs for local sports organizations dealing with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible expenses include insurance, administrative costs, rent, storage costs, equipment essential to providing sports programs and COVID-19 related supplies, such as cleaning products, signage and personal protective equipment. Given the significant number of applications received for the initial Local Sport Relief Fund, the ministry is considering other opportunities to support the sport sector.

“Nechako Karate Club is very grateful for this grant from the Province of B.C.,” said Keith Nakashima, instructor, Nechako Karate Club in Prince George. “This funding is important in helping us address some of the financial pressures brought on by the pandemic and in creating a safe environment for our athletes and staff to learn and hone their skill in karate.”
