Changes to Policy Regarding Sanction Requests for Events Outside of Canada

GymCan has announced that as of February 1, clubs, individuals, and Provincial/Territorial Organizations (PTO’s) no longer need to submit an authorization form to GymCan for travel outside of Canada. The PTO's have agreed to handle these requests directly. 

The Request for Sanction for Competition Travel form is available on our website. On February 1, it will be updated to reflect these changes made by GymCan. All clubs wishing to travel outside of BC must fill out the form to request sanctioning from GymBC. 

Competitive Category Deadline

This is a REMINDER that competitive artistic athletes must be registered in the level/category they will be competing in at BC Championships, by March 1, 2024. NOTE: following BC Champs, athletes may move UP in category (but not down).

Visit this link for full article and instructions on how to change your competitive athletes membership categories.

After March 1, whatever category/level your athletes are registered as in Uplifter, is the category/level they must compete in until after BC Championships.
