Congratulations to BC Sport Cheer Board Members Melanie Martens and Dawn Silver on each receiving a 2026 Sport BC Community Sport Hero Award!
In September, @sportbc_ recognized 12 outstanding volunteers from across the Vancouver region as recipients of the 2026 Community Sport Hero Awards. Presented by Sport BC, these awards celebrate the individuals whose passion, leadership, and dedication make amateur sport possible in communities throughout British Columbia.
For more than six years, Melanie has volunteered as co-program director and head coach of UBC Cheer, helping expand opportunities for university athletes to compete and build community. She has supported national and international competition and advanced scholastic cheer through her leadership with BC Sport Cheer.
Dawn has dedicated decades to cheerleading, beginning as a volunteer with the Renfrew Trojans and later helping build the sport in high schools, at Simon Fraser University and throughout British Columbia. A founding member of the provincial sport association, she has contributed through board leadership, provincial championships, equipment initiatives and equity, diversity and inclusion work.
Please join us in congratulating Mel and Dawn!
