Take Survey

GymBC Committee Review and Alignment Project Survey

Gymnastics BC would like to invite any individual to contribute their ideas, feedback and suggestions on the Technical Committees to complete this survey. This encompasses all four (4) Technical Committees:

  • Women's Technical Committee (WTC)
  • Men's Technical Committee (MTC)
  • Trampoline Gymnastics Technical Committee (TGTC)
  • Gymnastics for All Committee (GFAC)

The Committee Review and Alignment Project is an example of GymBC’s commitment to our sport and community. 

This survey is being conducting by Sport Law to ensure anonymity and we hope you can provide as much honest feedback as you can. 

The survey itself will remain open until November 18. 

For more information on the project and what we are trying to achieve, please visit our website here.
