Provincial Sport Organization Review

The Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) review process, lead by viaSport British Columbia, is in its final stages with expected completion targeted for November.

“Throughout this process, the feedback from the review panel has been very positive,” says Laura Watson, viaSport Sport Development Lead. “We have been so impressed by the amount of work that PSO representatives have put into this process; it has really become apparent the level of talent that exists within the administrators and staff in our provincial sport sector.” Once the review is complete, the review panel team will be working to create a thorough report on the trends and themes discovered through the process. The report will be delivered to the sector before the holiday break in December.
