Created by viaSport BC, The Level the Field Foundation supports expanded access to amateur sport across British Columbia. We believe everyone should be able to participate in welcoming, safe programs, and feel like they belong.
Sport is essential to the wellbeing and culture of British Columbia and a contributing factor to the social and economic health of communities and individuals in all corners of the province.
Inequity in sport participation is a systemic issue and disproportionally affects Indigenous Peoples, Women and Girls, 2SLGBTQIA+ People, Racialized Communities, Persons People with Disabilities, Low-income People and Families, and Newcomers.
When more people can participate, communities are more connected and healthier.
We co-design program models with provincial sport organizations, multi-sport organizations, local clubs, community agencies, charities and foundations, and people with lived experience.
We package proven models so they can be replicated and scaled across more places in BC. We collaborate across sectors to connect organizations to deliver new programs, and engage private and public partners to support program development.
We equip coaches, leaders, and volunteers with skills they can use right away. The result is more confident delivery and participants who stay engaged.
