CSI Pacific, which operates Olympic and Paralympic training centres in Vancouver, Victoria, and Whistler, added that 182 athletes have either benefited from its sport science services, or are a member of the PacificSport Regional Alliance. CSI Pacific points to several factors as the driving force behind BC’s Olympic prominence, including its own support of high-performance athletes, and viaSport’s promotion of amateur sports. “Canada’s Olympians come from throughout the province,” CSI Pacific said. “The widespread range of BC’s athletes is a direct result of the province’s commitment to make community sport accessible to all British Columbians.” Zoe Demarco+Follow
