Operationally identical structure and funding logic, just in a different BC region.
• Whistler Sport Legacies: BC-based non-profit delivering high-performance athlete training, coach education, and community sport programs with provincial and municipal support — comparable mandate, scale, and CS4L alignment, though with a stronger high-performance profile.
