Each year, the City of Kimberley, along with the Kimberley and District Community Foundation distribute the Winter Games Legacy Grants to local amateur sports organizations.
The fund are a legacy from both the 1980 and 2008 BC Winter Games held in Kimberley.
Until this past year, it was the KDCF which administered the grants, but that has changed this year and it will be Council that adjudicates the decision.
The City is now accepting application for the BC Winter Games Legacy Grant Program. Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on February 8th, 2021.
Grants are aimed at amateur sporting groups within the City of Kimberley and can support a variety of programs and projects. Applications are available here: .
BC Winter Games Legacy Funds were received from the proceeds of the 1980 and 2008 BC Winter Games and the 2018 BC 55+ Summer Games.
