#heritageclubgames

Well, as the Olympics are in full swing, we wrap up the Heritage Club Games 2021 ! 

Our part in the West Vancouver ParticipACTION Challenge is complete; we were Second in Canada, so didn’t get the $100,000 national prize but we did win the provincial prize of $15,000 and are very proud of our efforts.   It appears the prize will go towards the new Place for Sport – West Vancouver Track.

​

Speaking of prizes, huge congratulations to the Monthly, Weekly and Scavenger Hunt prize winners !  See list below and a huge thank you to everyone who took part for their enthusiasm and support. 

​

When we hear “Sport builds communities”  what does that really mean?  We see people who are suddenly on their own, knowing that they have a group of friends they can play tennis with, or someone who is new to an area knowing they can turn up at the sailing club and instantly be welcomed and spend time with like-minded people.  Friendships grow when people work together to launch a sports club event and suddenly they have a sense of belonging to replace the isolation. 

​

In this pandemic, we would be surprised to find anyone who hasn’t realised the value of a social circle – so we continue to thank the heavens for our local sports clubs!  Hope to see you all next year and even more hopeful the H C Games will be real !  Thank you !
