Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day
Hope and Health: Empowering Indigenous Youth
BC Soccer is proud to join the celebration and highlight our associate member Hope and Health, an organization dedicated to empowering Indigenous youth through sport and wellness initiatives. Hope and Health is an organization that uses the power of sport to inspire Indigenous youth, providing opportunities for youth to engage in sports, build life skills, and connect with positive role models.
The New Mini Pitch: A Symbol of Unity and Celebration
This year, we are excited to highlight the opening of a brand new mini-pitch, a project made possible through the generous support of sponsors and partners. The ‘Hope and Health Sts’ailes Strong Mini-Pitch’ Opening Ceremony took place on June 17th, featuring traditional drumming, dance performances, and speeches from community leaders and representatives. The mini-pitch is designed to promote a safe and accessible space for youth to play!
