By-Law Change
The current Board of Directors will be submitting a substantial change to the current BCU By-Laws at the 2024 AGM.
In short, these changes will align BCU membership with Local Sport Organisation (LSOs) rather than individuals. This model is common among Provincial Sports Organisations (PSOs) and is similar to how Ultimate Canada operates, with PSOs rather than individual players being the voting members at AGMs.
Voting will be weighted to the size of each LSO based on the same calculation Ultimate currently uses to weigh the voting strength of Provinces at their AGM.
It is hoped that this new structure will allow a greater voice for all ultimate community members in BC by allowing their LSO leadership to attend, vote and speak for all of their local members.
Specifics of these changes will be distributed along with the meeting notification and posted on the BCU Website 14 days prior to the AGM.

BC sent a total of 14 teams, 7 Open and 7 Women’s, to CUC Juniors, played Aug 11-14 in Ottawa, Ontario, and the local clubs came up BIG at the show.
BC teams won 4 of 6 available medals, including the Championships in both divisions, won be Prime’s Dyno teams. These wins were back-to-back championships for both the Women’s and Open divisions. Also on the podium, VUL’s Canyon Open and Women’s teams both won Bronze medals at the event. This accomplishment by these 4 teams, along with strong results from Vortex Women (6th) and Helios Open (4th) speak to the strength AND depth of BC Junior Club teams.
Of note was a strong finish for the Dusk teams from Vancouver Island, who were attending CUC for the first time. Following a strong BCUC Junior event, the Dusk teams came in 9th in Women’s and 6th in Open. Junior Ultimate continues to grow on Vancouver Island and I expect these teams will be pushing for medals at CUC in the near future.
Congratulations to all the BC teams attending CUC 2024.
Women’s Results: Dyno (1st), Canyon (3rd), Vortex (6th), Dusk (9th), Nitro (11th), Eclipse (12th), Helios (15th)
Open Results: Dyno (1st), Canyon (3rd), Helios (4th), Dusk (6th), Vortex (12th), Reign (15th), Nitro (17th)
]]>For the first time in Canada, Ultimate will be part of a Provincial Multi-Sport Games as our sport makes it’s debut at the BC Summer Games. Teams will be competing at Westview Secondary School in Maple Ridge, with the Medal Games starting at 9:30am on Sunday, July 21st.
