14july2023 UPDATE:

  • flight details - departure / arrival by sport

  • Just a reminder that tomorrow’s flight will be with Canadian North at Signature Flight Support (which is NEAR the south terminal, but it is NOT at the south terminal).

    The Signature Flight Support East Building is at 4380 Agar Drive. To get there, continue on Inglis Drive past the turn to the South Terminal and past the Flying Beaver Restaurant and Seaplane terminal. The road will turn hard right. At the end of this straight stretch the road will turn left. Do not turn left, continue straight into the Signature East Building entrance.

    There is a large parking lot that parents can park in while they unload. Drop offs in front of the main doors are not allowed as it will block all traffic.

Team BC Registration
- EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO ASAP!

As we head into the end of April, it is imperative that we have ALL ATHLETES AND COACHES registered in our registration system. This includes all final list athletes, alternate athletes, long list athletes, as well as any sports not selected yet but have athletes registering for the scorecard.

All athletes and coaches MUST be registered by MAY 1 to be eligible for NAIG. If they aren't on the list by May 1, they can not be selected.

REGISTRATION IS DUE MAY 1, 2023 (the earlier the better)!

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP ONE 
This is the final Team BC Registration Form that we need all athletes to complete (final roster, alternates, development squad). Please answer every question, even if you have previously answered some of these questions.  

IMPORTANT - To successfully complete your registration, you will need to proceed to the payment section and click on "Place an order/Checkout", even though the registration fee is $0 for this part of the registration. This is a necessary step to confirm your registration and secure your spot. 

CLICK HERE to fill out the registration form. 

STEP TWO 
If you have been selected to the final roster, you can pay your Registration Fee at THIS LINK. Alternates/long list athletes do not pay a registration fee yet. If you are moved on to the team, you will pay at that time.  

Please be registered in the Team BC Registration System by MAY 1. 

STEP THREE - VERY IMPORTANT
If you have not done so already, you need to fill out the Declaration of Ancestry on your member profile. You can find all the instructions on the I·SPARC WEBSITE HERE.

It will take up to two weeks for the verification to take place. A member of our team will follow up if there are any questions.

23feb2023 UPDATE:

Our selection period is quickly coming to a close (01apr2023) and we - the ISPARC Coaches & Managers - have received some further updates.  We would like the opportunity to pass it along to yourselves as I'm fairly certain that everyone is keen to plan their summer!

If you have not done your Expression of Interest into ISPARC, please do so by 01mar2023.  Most of you who are receiving this have already done so, there are a few that have not updated nor declared since the (originally intended) NAIG 2020.  We will need for you to ensure you've followed the expected processes https://isparc.perfectmind.com/SocialSite/MemberRegistration/MemberSignIn.  Please see ISPARC press release indented below and attached for further info.  If you're uncertain of your application being received, just reply to this email and I'm happy to confirm either way.

So, in the coming weeks, we'll have the opportunity to meet in 2 forums:

  1. Swim BC Winter Provincials being held in Victoria Mar 2 - 5.  We'll be having a meeting on one of the days of the competition, likely between Heats & Finals.  Specific day, time, and location TBD.  We will update you as this is finalized
  2. Zoom session on Thurs 09mar2023 @ 7pm 
    https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8630677862?pwd=TjM0QnNIdlBoa09sK3cvQXpkenpxUT09 

Both of these meetings will have the same content so those who are not in attendance at Provincials, please do not feel obligated to make the trip to Victoria!

Topics on our agenda thus far:

  • Selections updates, DRAFT rankings, timelines, etc
  • Team BC travel and all other logistics ROUGH updates - specifics are still being finalized
  • Cost for selected participants
    • formal guidelines for seeking sponsorship

If you've specific questions, please be sure to bring it up when we meet; no doubt others will benefit.
