Call for Nominations 2025 National Indigenous Coaching Awards & Tom Longboat Awards

The Aboriginal Sport Circle is pleased to open nominations for the 2025 National Indigenous Coaching Awards and Tom Longboat Awards.

The National Indigenous Coaching Awards (NICA) were developed to recognize the outstanding commitment and contributions of Indigenous coaches to sport in Canada. A program of the Aboriginal Sport Circle, these awards acknowledge the tremendous impact of selected Indigenous coaches on sport development in Canada—from community participation to elite level competition.

The Tom Longboat Awards (TLA) were established in 1951 to recognize Indigenous athletes who have made outstanding contributions to sport in Canada. These prestigious awards have a rich, longstanding tradition, which the ASC is honoured to continue in opening this year’s nominations.
