I·SPARC and the BC Lions have partnered to host an Indigenous Youth Program (IYP), for flag football programs across the Lower Mainland. This program will offer opportunities for four (4) youth teams to be formed from the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal regions (Vancouver, North Vancouver, Surrey, and Chilliwack).

The program will feature coaching by BC Lions players, a fun tournament and BBQ, Life Skills Workshop, and a VIP BC Lions Game Day experience. This program is being offered to self-identifying Indigenous youth ages 13-16, all genders welcome.

Each of the four teams will have three (3) practices in April, followed by two special events: Life skills workshop (Saturday, April 20) and a one-day tournament and BBQ (Sunday, April 28).

Participants and their families will also be invited to attend a future BC Lions Football Game at BC Place Stadium.

Registration will remain open through to April 5, 2024. Spots are limited to 20 youth per team and a waitlist will be established if registrations exceed spots for a location series.
