The Pacwest has announced the official cancellation of the winter session of sports competition.

The league had earlier cancelled fall sports play back in June, but were hopeful that play could begin in the winter with a reduced schedule.

According to the release, the decision was based on the ongoing developments of the pandemic and the unique geography of the conference, coupled with the regional specific Provincial Health Officer (PHO) guidelines.

The Pacwest features athletes competing in basketball, golf, soccer and volleyball.

School sports programs featured in the league include: Abbotsfordѻýs Columbia Bible College Bearcats, Victoriaѻýs Camosun Chargers, the North Vancouver-based Capilano Blues, the Cranbrook-based College of the Rockies Avalanche, New Westminsterѻýs Douglas College Royals, Vancouverѻýs Langara Falcons, Kelownaѻýs Okanagan College Coyotes and Nanaimoѻýs Vancouver Island University Mariners.
