This week is an opportunity to recognize coaches for the integral role they play by saying #ThanksCoach.
- Coaches are a valuable contributor to communities across Canada.
- Canadians across the country should take the opportunity during National Coaches Week to say, #ThanksCoach.
- Coaching contributes significantly to volunteerism in Canada.
With events held across the country to celebrate coaching, National Coaches Week provides coaches with the recognition they deserve for the time they devote to ensuring Canadians live an active, healthy lifestyle.
