Coaches. withdrew their volun- tary services on Sept. 1 to protest about $75,000 in athletic funding cuts within the Greater Victoria and Sooke school districts. Both district boards voted to ~~testore most of the funding, prompiing coaches to retum. “Everything is now in a green- light position,” said Kevin O’Neill, co-president of the Lower Vancouver Island Senior Seconda- ry School Athletic Association. “We're certainly very pleased with the boards’ recognition of the importance of athletics,” he said. “] think a message was sent out to all boards that coaches are willing to stand up for quality athletics and they do not want to see it deteriorate.” Some senior and junior high school coaches were expected to begin practice sessions Monday. The withdrawal affected coaches in the Saanich school district as Bell as Greater Victoria and Sooke. The dispute started when Great- er Victoria chopped over $60,000 in athletic funding from its budget.
