Spring Conveners

“Collective benefits of sport

The [Future of Sport in Canada] Commission heard compelling stories of the role sport plays in bringing people together, fostering social connections, creating friendships and enhancing community life. Whether it is playing on a team, interacting on a playground, or participating in recreation leagues, sport allows children (and often parents or guardians), teens, and adults, to connect with others in healthy and socially positive ways. These relationships, which transcend winning or losing, create supportive networks that promote belonging.”

Government of Canada Why Sport is important to Canadians and Canada.

At Valley Gardens, we know how important community sports are to our youths. Community leagues are supported by local volunteers like yourself who also understand this value! We hear from many community members with stories that start “back in the day when I was a kid…” and we need you to return to your community centres so that local kids will have those same memories. Community programs at your local Centres have always been led by volunteers. You don’t have to have kids here to volunteer and ensure your friends, family, and neighbours have those same opportunities that you remember fondly.

How can you join in?

We are seeking Conveners and Coaches for the 2026 Spring Season of Baseball, Basketball, and Soccer (in-house Mini/TimBits; we will also be looking for grassroots coaches for our local youths).
