Administration

Series contains files of the Administration business unit. This unit: led the development of the organization's strategic and business plans, provided planning and logistical support to other administrative units, and maintained BidCorp's central information databases. In this capacity, it developed the records management classification system that served as the foundation for the organization's recordkeeping procedures. Additionally, the unit oversaw the provision of office space, furniture, and equipment, and was also responsible for personnel and staffing matters.

The series is further divided into three subseries: General Meetings, Personnel, and Records Management System.

Athlete and Sport Development

Series contains records relating to BidCorp's Athlete and Sport Development (ASD) plan. Working with the Government of British Columbia and other partners to fund a program called "LegaciesNow," the purpose of the initiative was to ensure that the bid process did not divert resources from the sport system, but rather, regardless of outcome, strengthened the system through targeted funding efforts.

The series is further divided into two subseries: LegaciesNow, Sport Centres and Athlete Development.
