How does it work?

Each year the Provincial Government allocates a certain amount of BC AAP funding to each Provincial Sport Organization (PSO). Along with the funding are guidelines regarding minimum funding criteria that the PSO must follow when allocating funds to the athletes. These are included on the following pages. In addition to these guidelines, the PSO (Synchro BC) is responsible for forming a
Selection Committee that establishes criteria to further select athletes for the
program. Once the athletes are selected, the funds are distributed. The BC AAP
program seeks to “relieve some of the pressures associated with training and
competition needs when participating in national and international sport.”
