Sponsorships

Since 1985, BCLC has proudly supported British Columbia by sponsoring events in communities across the province.

Our role

The Province of B.C. founded BCLC with the purpose of giving back to British Columbia, while helping communities grow. Since 1985, BCLC has delivered more than $28 billion to the Province of B.C. to support investments in areas such as healthcare, education and community programs.

BCLC’s first landmark initiative to support communities was helping to fund Expo ’86. More than $250 million was put towards the World’s Fair, which led to massive job creation, tourism, and the construction of iconic Vancouver landmarks including the TELUS World of Science and SkyTrain.

From music to sporting events, BCLC has helped bring communities together. We are building on that success by continuing to deliver exceptional gambling entertainment that is not only fair, fun, and safe, but also supports healthy people, growing communities, and a thriving province.
