The annual BC High School Track and Field Championships will go ahead as planned next month.
There were fears the event would be cancelled because of a decision by teachers to withdraw from extracurricular activities.
But Christine Bradstock with BC High School Sports says enough volunteers have stepped forward.
“Some of the teachers are stepping forward in a volunteer role to continue on with their passion for coaching at the track and field level,” says Bradstock, “and also there are other volunteers that are stepping forward and there still remains a lot of athletes that want to participate.”
The event goes June 1st and 2nd at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby.
