Project Description

The construction contract for the Inner-City Sport Court was awarded to CAP Ventures in August, with construction beginning in early September, with an expected completion date of November 2011.  Ray Cam Co-operative Centre has begun its recruitment and leadership training for local inner-city and social housing youth to become community-based leaders and coaches.
The sport court is primarily a basketball/ball hockey court providing a place for young people and families to participate in active, healthy play. The project is a legacy of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games
This is a joint project between Coca-Cola Canada, 2010 Legacies Now, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, BC Housing and Ray-Cam Cooperative Centre.  The funding for this project is provided by Coca-Cola.
