Created by the Coaching Association of Canada, National Coaches Week is held annually across Canada to celebrate the positive impact coaches have on athletes and sport communities. It is an opportunity to recognize their dedication and say #ThanksCoach.
Since 2024, SPORTSQUÉBEC has expanded this celebration to also recognize the invaluable contribution of officials. In Québec, National Coaches and Officials Week (NCOW) aims to recognize, promote, and support everyone who plays a role in guiding and developing sport.
This year’s theme is: “Collective Intelligence in the Service of Sport”
