Welcome to the third in our series saluting this year’s recipients of the Horizon Central Athletic Association Recognition Awards. Teachers, community volunteers and coaches put in hundreds of hours in developing programs and fostering interest and skill in high school athletes. 

This year’s crop of award recipients is a big part of student success in athletics and in academics and social development. 

Hat’s off to today’s recognized recipients.  

A two day gathering for HCAA junior badminton athletes has wrapped up in schools across the Horizon School Division. 

These dedicated badminton players are all vying for a spot in the District competition coming up on Thursday, May 2 in Wakaw.

Congratulations to all the participants, and all the best to the winners, listed below, who are heading to further competition. 

Today, we congratulate two more recipients of the HCAA Recognition Awards bestowed to eight individuals. Teachers and coaches give countless hours to support students in their school athletic endeavours, and these two individuals have gone above and beyond to further their athletes’ aspirations by working in Horizon Central Athletic Division programs.
