Call for Nominations – Premier’s Awards for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport
I·SPARC Launches Nomination Process to Honour Outstanding Young Indigenous Athletes in B.C.
 

I·SPARC, in collaboration with the Province of British Columbia, have launched the nomination process for the 2018 Premier’s Award for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport.

These awards provide a unique opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of Indigenous athletes who excel in performance sport and who are using their experiences in sport to shape their future.

Nominations are open to Indigenous athletes (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) under 25 years of age who are training and competing in performance sport; display strong leadership qualities; are committed to pursuing higher education; and serve as community role models both on and off the field of play.

The Premier’s Awards will be presented both regionally and provincially. Eight athletes (four male and four female) within each of the I·SPARC’s six regions will be selected to receive a Regional Award. The 48 regional recipients will automatically serve as nominees for the Provincial Award. 12 athletes (six male and six female) will be selected to receive the Provincial Award in early 2019.

Formal ceremonies to honour Regional Awards Recipients will be held throughout the month of November and the provincial ceremony will be conducted at the next Gathering Our Voices National Aboriginal Youth Conference in Port Alberni, March 2019.
 

Deadline to submit nominations is Friday, September 28, 2018, at 4:30 p.m. (PST).

 
The Regional Nomination form can be found at https://aboriginalsportbc.wufoo.com/forms/kimqrrm0rfeu65/.
