OLYMPIC/PARALYMPIC LIVE SITES (OPLS)

The Olympic/Paralympic Live Sites Program will ensure that a share of the benefits of hosting the 2010 Olympic/Paralympic Winter Games are made available to residents of the province, beyond the immediate Olympic-venue towns and cities, while also providing communities with legacies of continuing economic value.

Program Funding


The Olympic/Paralympic Live Sites Program will be a $20 million program offering financial support (maximum award is $330,000) for projects with budgets of under $1 million that provide opportunities for communities to participate in the spirit of the 2010 Olympic/Paralympic Winter Games.
