Petition addressed to: Vancouver School Board VSB Trustees Superintendent / District Leadership Ministry of Education and Child Care, British Columbia

Parents, students, stake holders & friends of Britannia Hockey Academy call on the Vancouver School Board and the B.C. Ministry of Education and Child Care to pause the suspension of the Britannia Hockey Academy for the 2026–2027 school year and give the Britannia community one fair year to rebuild awareness, enrollment and support.

Reason

The Britannia Hockey Academy has been suspended for the 2026–2027 school year after families were notified far too late to help rebuild enrollment. We are asking the Vancouver School Board and the B.C. Ministry of Education and Child Care for a one-year pause so parents, students, alumni, minor hockey associations and community partners can work together to save this important East Vancouver program.

Thank you so much for your support, Jason Del Vicario, Vancouver

Why people sign

Hockey wasn't very accessible to me as a child due to costs, so I want all kids to have a chance to play regardless of money and social status. Sport should be for everyone.

I wanna play hockey again bro

I was in the BHA in my grade 9 year. It was a wonderful experience and I made so many friends and memories, while improving on my hockey skills. I would hate to see the opportunity stripped from other youth!

Grew up playing hockey/went to secondary school at Britannia.

I went to Britannia and feel that they should continue their hockey program for the kids.
