2021 Provincial Premier's Awards for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport

In collaboration with the Province of British Columbia, the Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Council (I·SPARC) launched the regional nomination process for the Premier’s Awards in late 2021, receiving nominations from each of I·SPARC’s six regions (Fraser, Interior, Northeast, Northwest, Vancouver Coastal, and Vancouver Island). Nominations were open to Indigenous athletes under the age of 25 who have competed in high performance sport, demonstrated a commitment to their education and culture, and promoted healthy and active lifestyles. Athletes were selected from each region (Northeast and Northwest were combined this year), resulting in 30 regional recipients. Of the 30 regional recipients, 10 athletes were selected as provincial recipients for the Provincial Awards and are highlighted in this video. Provincial recipients will have their photo and biography on display at the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
