BCWSA and BCWBS Express Condolences On the Passing of Gord May

BC Wheelchair Sports Association and BC Wheelchair Basketball Society express our condolences on the passing of Gord May. Gord helmed the Coaches Association of BC from its inception in 1993 and was valued friend to both of our organizations. 

 

Gord was dedicated to ensuring that BC's coaches have the skills and tools they need to perform at their best.  This year, Gord received the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal for his significant contributions to sport in the province. Gord retired from the CABC this February after 20 years of service and was celebrated at an event that also honoured the Coaches Association of BC's 20 year anniversary.  

 

“Gord’s leadership and advocacy on behalf of coaches in the Province of BC has had an immeasurable impact," said Gail Hamamoto, Executive Director of BC Wheelchair Sports Association. " He leaves a legacy of well-educated and valued coaches who will continue his good work throughout our sport system in the years to come.  We will always remember the laughter we shared with Gord and the humour he brought to every situation.  He will be greatly missed.”
