In their April 2021 meeting, the Special Olympics BC Athlete Input Council members developed their public email addresses. Any athletes can reach out to them this way! Please click here for the contact list.
Other topics they discussed in April:
- How they can connect with Athlete Input Councils in the Locals in their Regions. This is a great way for athlete feedback to come from the Local level to inform discussions at the Regional and provincial levels.
- Ways to let everyone know what the provincial SOBC Athlete Input Council members discuss in their meetings. There will be notes posted on the SOBC website here. Summaries will be shared on SOBC’s Facebook Page and in the SOBC e-newsletter.
- A report from Canadian Athlete Leadership Council member (and BC Region 6 rep) Jake Hooper: There have been discussions around how to address barriers to communications for those athletes that don’t have computers or social media.
- For the Provincial Challenge Games, connecting with the Chefs de Mission and supporting their Regional teams.
- Planning the schedule for provincial AIC members to participate in Provincial Challenge Games Trainer Tuesday and Throwdown Thursday workouts.
The SOBC Athlete Input Council members advise SOBC on important ideas and issues. The council has athlete representatives from each Region around the province. They all have Athlete Leadership experience from previous courses and roles.
