Due to the massive increase in teams and limited venue capacity, the ceremonies will be exclusive to coaches, players, and designated guests. We kindly ask all the other supporters to join us for a viewing party and BBQ in the UBC Okanagan Courtyard, where the ceremony will be streamed live on a large outdoor screen as the players parade through into opening ceremonies!

We encourage families, fans, and spectators to come support their team during the parade and Viewing Party. Bring your Nation’s flags, team banners, signs, pom-poms, or anything festive to show your team spirit as we kick off JANT! Let’s make it a vibrant and exciting atmosphere for everyone!
