National Day for Truth & Reconciliation

September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a time to honour survivors families, and communities. Sport can play an important role in fostering understanding and inclusion.

We’ve gathered key resources, including viaSport BC, I·SPARC, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, to support reflection and education within our gymnastics community.

Please note, the GymBC office will be closed on September 30, 2025.

Notice of Absence for Catherine Dubinsky

Please note that Catherine Dubinsky will be on vacation starting September 29, 2025. During her absence, payments submitted to GymBC will not be processed and will instead be handled upon her return in late October (with her first day back being October 27). As a result, Uplifter (membership) invoices that you have submitted payment for may appear as unpaid. Rest assured, this will be resolved after Catherine returns from vacation.

If you encounter any membership issues during Catherine’s absence, please make a note of them and reach out to her once she is back. It’s perfectly fine to address these matters after her return; there’s no need to worry.

Finally, Catherine sends her best wishes to everyone as the new membership year progresses and looks forward to reconnecting with all of you upon her return!
