COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our community partners are the heart of every event we host.
Local Businesses
Sport events typically bring participants, officials and spectators to the host city. For provincial, national or international events, these visitors not only stay in local hotels, but they also purchase meals, souvenirs and spend time away from the sport venue at local attractions. Richmond businesses are well equipped to service out of town visitors and offer a plethora of options for tourists. As well, sport events often serve as marketing opportunities for local organizations and create a mutually benefitting opportunity for the event organizer and the business.
Richmond Residents
The Richmond community benefits in a variety of ways through experiencing high level sport events. For athletes, the ability to compete on home soil has been well established in Richmond as a Venue City for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Residents continually have the ability to engage with elite events as volunteers, technical officials and event organizers. Bringing elite sporting events into the community promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages dreams of young athletes as they join the ranks of spectators enjoying these events.
