Longtime basketball coach from PG takes home BC School Sports’ Honour Award

Duchess Park Secondary Teacher Louise Holmes took home the BC School Sports’ Honour Award, the highest form of distinction the group can bestow upon an individual.

Holmes was presented with the honour during a dinner in Kelowna on Friday.

It is presented to an individual who has demonstrated prolonged and distinguished service to BC School Sports, their zone, local association and school.

“It is such a privilege to recognize the very best in school sport across British Columbia,” said Executive Director Jordan Abney.

“Educational athletics provides meaningful opportunities to more than 120,000 student-athletes registrations each year. This system thrives because of dedicated volunteers and servant leaders.”

Holmes is a long-time head coach of the Condors girls basketball program and has been an assistant with the T-Wolves.
