Congratulations to Sam Elliott, recipient of the Referee of the Tournament award at the 2026 Karate BC Provincial Championships, which took place April 11th & 12th at the Richmond Curling Centre. Presented by Referee Committee Chair Rob Walker (right) and Referee Development Program Coordinator Brendan Flower (left), this award recognizes a referee who demonstrates exceptional performance, professionalism, and dedication throughout the championship weekend.
Sam stood out for his consistency on the tatami, his calm and confident decision‑making, and his commitment to supporting athletes and fellow officials. His contribution helped elevate the standard of officiating at this year’s Provincials, and we’re proud to acknowledge his excellence.

As we head into a new Spring Season, please visit our website for more details about a few upcoming opportunities for you, your staff and your coaches/athletes – and maybe even your extended connections beyond what I just listed!
NCCP COURSES:
MANAGING CONFLICT - APRIL 19 @ LEC – 9am to 5pm - $100
*I have received 1 request to run either Prevention and Recovery and or Psychology of Performance. I am wondering if any of you have coaches that may need those courses. They seem to frequently be canceled due to low numbers, as there is a minimum to run the course. That being said I would love to work together so we can run a session successfully!
If you have another course you would like to offer, please let me know and I am happy to set this up for you. PSFV is also pleased to announce a new partner with a new FIRST AID partner. They are mostly first responders who are certified to facilitate emergency/standard first aid. The premise is they will come to you. Through PSFV you will be able to access a discounted pricing system. Please let me know if this could interest you or your organization.
COACH OPPORTUNITY –
We are looking for coaches who may be interested in introducing their sport to our summer camp programs across the Fraser Valley – this is not a large time commitment, and can be 2 hours 1 time or maybe 2 hours 4 times! We are flexible but please let me know if you have any interested in exposing your sport to the participants in our programs.
RBC TRAINING GROUND –
RBC Training Ground is coming to Surrey/Kelowna and Victoria. I encourage you to promote this to your communities/connections. If you need assistance with this please let me know!
STAY TUNED –
Stay tuned as after a successful Women Leading Women event in March, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a second session in May. Details will come out shortly. Please let me know if you have any questions!
CURRENT PROGRAMS –
Please visit @pacificsportfv to see about upcoming Adult and Childrens programs!
