The Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Council (I·SPARC), in collaboration with the Province of British Columbia, launched the regional nomination process in late 2020, receiving nominations from each of I·SPARC’s six regions (Fraser, Interior, Northeast, Northwest, Vancouver Coastal, and Vancouver Island) for Indigenous athletes, under 25 years of age, who are competing in performance sport, and demonstrating a commitment to their education, culture, and promoting healthy and active lifestyles.

Over the course of this week, I·SPARC will be announcing the 30 regional recipients of the Premier’s Awards for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport, by region.

Moore and the other regional recipients automatically serve as nominees for the Provincial Awards, which will be announced later this year.
