“Many people have dreams…many people share dreams…few people build dreams. The MultiSport Centre of Excellence is the realization of many dreams.” |
A New Era For Sport Health and Performance
The MultiSport Centre of Excellence is committed to enhancing sport health and sport performance for athletes of all ages and levels of ability. Proud to encourage healthy lifestyles and promote physical activity, it will be full-accessible by grass-roots sports and community programs.
Integrated Sport Development
Inspired by a vision of integrated sport development, the comprehensive sports training and rehabilitation centre will provide world-class, leading-edge programs and services.
Our goal is to truly make a difference: To inspire children to reach for their dreams and their best….and to provide extraordinary services to high performance Olympians and veteran professional athletes.
The innovative project has been developed by experienced sport and community leaders who strongly believe in the importance of sport and active living to our local communities, our province and our national culture. What makes the MultiSport Centre of Excellence unique is its sustainable economic model, with the land and facilities funded through a public foundation.
New Models of Sport Funding
The MultiSport Centre of Excellence is pioneering new models for effective sport and athlete funding which in turn will fuel new levels of excellence and efficiency in serving all athletes, whether they are driven by recreation, fitness or performance. The Centre will be backed by internationally-recognized sport medicine and sport science expertise, including many of the leading practitioners in British Columbia. Its integrated approach and purpose-built design will make Burnaby home to Canada’s premiere high performance training centre.
“We are very excited about the plans for the MultiSport Centre of Excellence,” said Mr. Cousens.
“We have done our homework and believe that this project is very viable and will provide our community with the sports training facility that we have needed for many years. The MultiSport Centre of Excellence will create an unparalleled legacy for the advancement of sport in Canada and provide significant assistance to Canada’s athletes far beyond the 2010 Olympics.”
“We look forward to bringing our vision to the sports community and the wider public and enlisting their enthusiastic support as this project moves ahead.”
