National Coaches Week is a time to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and their communities across Canada. The annual campaign is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by taking the time to say #ThanksCoach. Join us as we celebrate the important role that coaches play across Canada.
September 19 – 27, 2020, marks the sixth annual National Coaches Week and we’re asking for your help celebrating and inviting you to be a part of all the activities across Canada
