CKBC has booked a block of rooms that will be made available to all clubs at the University of Regina residences.
In order to have our coaches best prepared for the upcoming season we are offering the Multisport Module for Competition B on March 26th and 27th in Maple Ridge. Coaches wishing to be 'certified' as Entry Level Competitive Coaches must have completed the Competition A and Competition B courses, the online Making Ethical Decisions module as well as the Entry Level Competitive Coach course prior to being evaluated and certified as a competent 'ELCC' coach.
The ELCC, CanoeKids and an Entry Level WW course will all be held in Fort Langley in conjunction with the Sport BC Power of Sport Tour and the CanoeKayak Canada Coaches week. Online registration is ready to go! ELCC is a MUST for all BC Summer Games coaches.
