Indigenous tourism businesses will receive another financial boost to aid in pandemic recovery and foster growth through the continued partnership of the Province and Indigenous Tourism BC.

Melanie Mark, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, has released the following statement to recognize B.C.’s first Concussion Awareness Week from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2, 2021:

Thousands of children and youth will have the opportunity to be physically active through sport, thanks to the B.C. government’s historic investment in Sport BC.

B.C. athlete and Canadian Olympian Evan Dunfee is using his success as a bronze medal race walker to raise awareness of KidSport BC so every child can enjoy and reap the benefits of sport.

The Province will begin accepting applications on Friday, Aug. 27, 2021, to support B.C.-based events through the new Fairs, Festivals and Events Recovery Fund.
