Summer Sports Roundup
Over the weekend before they returned to school in earnest, many students were back on campus for pre-season sport camps, getting reacquainted and preparing for the upcoming ice hockey, field hockey and volleyball seasons.
As those athletes settle into their fall routines, it is also an opportunity to celebrate the many successes our current students, alumni and staff members achieved during the summer in a wide array of sports.
At the Canada Summer Games in Newfoundland and Labrador, Emma N. helped BC’s U18 girls to gold in rugby, while alum Jonty Nicholas and coach Mr. John Tait were part of BC’s silver-medal U20 men’s rugby team. Will E. helped BC to bronze in boys’ soccer, and Logan J. was part of Saskatchewan’s boys’ rugby team.
