“Judo BC is grateful to receive this support which will allows us to put
on a world class event, provide a high level competitive opportunity for our
members who otherwise might not be able to afford to attend Nationals, and for
the opportunity to endow the City of Richmond and Judo BC with a lasting
legacy.”
Sandy Kent, President Judo BC
James Chevrette Double Presidents’ Award Recipient
James Chevrette, BC Games Advisor for Judo BC, is the recipient of the Judo
BC’s Presidents’ Award and the BC Games Presidents’ Award. These will be
presented at a special ceremony immediately prior to the Sport BC Athlete of the Year Awards on March 7th at the River
Rock Show Theatre in Richmond. The Presidents’ Awards give BC’s Provincial Sport
Organizations an opportunity to showcase those individuals who make a
significant, and often unheralded, contribution to their sport. We believe this
is the first time one individual with be receiving 2 Presidents’ Awards.
Congratulations James!
