2022 BCCFA Newsletter

Happy New Year!

A lot has changed in the past few months. The most significant news is that the VICFA & VMFL have chosen to withdraw from the BCCFA. Their decision is disappointing to the BCCFA but our league has chosen an open door policy for any of those clubs who wish to participate in our Spring tackle or Flag seasons are welcome.

We would like to welcome the Penticton Leatherheads club to the SIFC! This is exciting news and we look forward to working with Adam Witzel in 2022!

We are a grassroots organization that is committed to growing community football in British Columbia!!
