BC Place Schools Participation Program

BC Place is a one-of-a-kind multipurpose stadium located in Downtown Vancouver. As a public facility operating in a city with the highest population density in Canada, BC Place is proud to open our doors and welcome students from B.C. schools to play on the same field as their sporting heroes.

BC Place is currently not accepting applications for the Schools Participation Program. Please check back in the future for potential opportunities.
