The Waterloo Region Esports Commission (WREC) provides access to financial support, as well as providing information on grant opportunities available to sporting events. If you are interested in further information on event hosting grants in the region and province, please contact WREC.
For information on WREC Grants, please contact the Director of Sport Hosting and Co-Chair of WREC, Allister Scorgie [email protected]
