SportAbility is saddened to share the news of the passing of Hussein Mawji.

A fixture in the BC Boccia community, Hussein was an incredible father and performance partner to his son, Hanif, supporting him as they competed across Canada and the globe. This included joining Hanif at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games and the 2015 Parapan Am Games in Toronto (where Hanif won a silver and bronze medal).

Hussein was also a dedicated volunteer, serving as a provincial boccia referee and treasurer for CCPSA.

Hussein's dedication, support, and passion leave an incredible mark on the Boccia community, and he will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts are with the Mawji family and all of those who knew Hussein in this difficult time.

SportAbility is recruiting Provincial Para Hockey coaches for the 2026/2027 season! We're looking for enthusiastic individuals with experience coaching/playing hockey who are looking for a meaningful way to make an impact and create a positive, athlete-focused environment where people can achieve their goals.

Coaches will work alongside SportAbility BC staff to deliver training camps, support athlete development, provide mentorship, and help strengthen para hockey pathways throughout the province. Opportunities include on-ice coaching, athlete evaluation, tournament participation, and program planning. Coaching at regular Surrey-based programming is considered an asset.

Previous para hockey and/or para sport experience is an asset, but additional training can be provided.
