Every lottery ticket purchased and play in a casino or online at PlayNow.com generates gambling revenue that goes back to the Province of B.C. Thanks to our players, more than $25 billion in net income has been delivered to the province to support communities, provincial programs and services all across British Columbia.

Since 1985, BCLC has been a proud sponsor of events in local communities throughout the province. BCLC is committed to continuing our support. 

Building on the success of the award winning campaign, Spread the Local Love, BCLC is launching Love Local BC. With every purchase of a gift card to a local business or successful silent auction bid on the campaign page, participants will help drive support and awareness for local businesses while raising funds for Food Banks across B.C. Every bid (successful or not) or purchase of a gift card will count as one entry into our grand prize draw. with a maximum of one entry per person. Our grand prize will be revealed on November 29, so stay tuned for more details.

Together to feed those in need

Food insecurity affects those around us. More than 80,000 individuals are assisted by food banks every month in B.C. With 12 days to fundraise, we can make a lasting impact throughout B.C. communities.
