BC Place lights up for Jumpstart Day 2020

September 12th, 2020

BC Place will light up red and white to recognize this year's Jumpstart Day on Saturday, September 12th.

Founded in 2005, Jumpstart Charities helps kids overcome financial and accessibility barriers to sport and recreation in an effort to provide inclusive play for kids of all abilities.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on community sports and recreation, increasing the barriers to participation faced by Canada’s most vulnerable children and youth. This has led to the launch of the Jumpstart Sport Relief Fund – an $8 million fund that will help sport and recreation organizations continue to deliver programming in 2020 and beyond.
