Are you eligible to register with PacificSport/Canadian Sport Institute?
PacificSport Fraser Valley registers athletes who have been identified in two different ways:
1. By their Provincial Sport Organization (PSO). The PSO should notify the athletes by letter or email, stating that they have met their sport-specific criteria and are eligible to register with CSI Pacific/PacificSport.
2. By Sport Canada. If an athlete is receiving Sport Canada Athlete Assistance Program Government Funding (usually this means an athlete is a Canadian National Team Member).
