FACILITY PARTNERS
With a vision of becoming a World Leader in Sport Performance, Canadian Sport Centre Pacific is at a significant crossroad in its evolution through the realization of sport facility projects in communities across BC where PacificSport centres are located. CSC Pacific has been primarily a service-based organization, but has been been partnering with facilities and continuing to create world-class environments for athletes, coaches, event managers, administrators, sport scientists, volunteers and sport partners.
In addition to providing the much-needed training space and sport medicine and technology services for performance athletes, these facility projects are an innovative paradigm combining sport, health, education, recreation and wellness for youth, adults and seniors. These users will participate in physical activity along side the best athletes in the world with the long-term benefit of decreased health costs due to increased physical literacy and activity of youth, adults, masters and seniors.
The following are projects in partnership with CSC Pacific and PacificSport Centres:
City of Kamloops Tournament Capital Centre
Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre
Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence
Vancouver Island Mountain Sport Centre
