The next Canada Winter Games (CWG) will be held in Quebec City, Quebec, in March 2027. Karate BC is compiling a long list of athletes who may be interested in trying out for the British Columbia Team at the CWG.

If you (or someone you know who is a member of Karate BC) were born between March 11, 2009 - March 10, 2011 and are interested in potentially trying out for the BC Team, please visit our website for more details.

Please note, this is a long list of athletes who may be interested in trying out for BC’s CWG team. It is not a commitment to participate.

Thank you for your interest, and good luck to all the athletes!

Dear Karate BC Members,

Karate BC is pleased to announce the launch of the Women in Refereeing (WIR) Mentorship Program, a new initiative focused on supporting the recruitment, retention, mentorship, and development of female and gender-diverse referees across British Columbia.

The WIR Mentorship Program aims to foster leadership, confidence, and community within officiating by connecting developing referees with experienced mentors who can provide guidance, support, and insight throughout their refereeing journey.

This initiative is open to all Karate BC members who identify as female or gender-diverse and are interested in becoming involved in refereeing, developing their officiating skills, or supporting the next generation of referees within our community.

Participants will be paired based on experience level, goals, and availability. Whether you are new to refereeing or an experienced official interested in mentoring others, we encourage you to get involved.

Through this initiative, Karate BC continues its commitment to equity, inclusion, leadership development, and the long-term growth of officiating within the province.

For more information, please visit our website.
