BC school sports

BC School Sports was originally organized in 1965 as the British Columbia Federation of School Athletic Associations (BCFSAA) by a group of interested teachers and administrators. A Constitution was adopted in 1966. Jim Stewart of Coquitlam was the first President. Stewart was elected to the BC School Sports Honour Roll in 1993. Operational support wasreceived from the provincial government and the association opened an office on January 1970, with Executive Secretary Don Steen as the first employee. The name was changed to BC School Sports in 1980-81.

The mission statement of BC School Sports reflects the membership's drive for service excellence and a commitment to being a student-centred, school-driven organization. Every program and service offered by the association is directed toward student-athletes and/or the volunteer teacher and community coaches who spend hours of time helping students to achieve their goals.
