National Coaches Week provides coaches with the recognition they deserve for the time they devote to ensuring Canadians live an active, healthy lifestyle.

Coaches are truly the foundation of the BC Games and the BC Games Society is proud of the incredible accomplishments of our coaches. From September 21 - 29, 2019, we encourage BC Games athletes to say thank you to a coach who has helped them become their best both on and off the field of play.

To celebrate National Coaches Week, viaSport is giving away $1000 through their Coaches Week Contest! Visit their website for more details at viasport.ca/coachesweek.
