TWO-RIVERs MULTI-SPORT OUTDOOR COURTS
(previously named the “Telkwa Multi-Sport Outdoor Courts”)
On behalf of the Bulkley Valley Youth Sport Foundation (“BVYSF”), Bulkley Valley Racquet Sport Society (“BVRSS”) and Bulkley Valley Pickleball Club (“BVPC”), we are excited to announce the completion of the court project in Telkwa! In just under 3 years, this project went from a dream of some enthusiastic racquet sport players to an amazing sports court at the Telkwa BBQ Grounds.
This project will provide the Bulkley Valley with a community-minded recreation facility for all ages, ethnicities, genders and abilities. Now that it is completed, the courts are available to the public to access free-of-charge for years to come!
To our incredible donors, volunteers, and funding partners from across Telkwa and Smithers and beyond, and the Village of Telkwa: thank you. The Two-Rivers Multi-Sport Outdoor Courts are a true celebration of what the Bulkley Valley can achieve together. Thanks to the generosity of local businesses and individuals, hundreds of volunteer hours, vital grant funding from the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako and the Prince Rupert Port Authority, and the land and support provided by the Village, we now have a vibrant place to play, connect, and thrive for generations to come. We are truly grateful. See you on the courts!

financial aid for young athletes
We have financial aid available to support our mission in providing opportunities for young athletes to experience and advance through single or multiple sport organizations in the Bulkley Valley. Since 2021, BVYSF has funded over $54,000 to more than 75 local youth to help them participate in sport and recreation!
Financial aid will be issued in the form of grants to qualifying youth. Once the completed grant application is received and approved by BVYSF, applicants will be contacted.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns with the application form or process, we look forward to hearing from you!
try it programs
Are you worried about signing your children up for a sport that they may not actually enjoy? Utilize our ‘Try It’ programs, which will allow your young athletes to sample a sport over a limited number of sessions, all expenses covered by BVYSF. This will help you to be sure that your child has the confidence and interest to commit to a sport for a full structured season.
‘Try It’ program sports will be chosen based on season, interest, and funding. Upcoming ‘Try It’ programs will be posted on our website, alongside registration dates and contact information to keep you informed on these great opportunities.
community tournaments
BVYSF will be hosting day-long tournaments in various sports throughout the year. These days will focus on promoting healthy, active lifestyle for all youth, whether they are currently involved in an organized sport or just looking to have some fun playing with other youth from the community!
bulkley valley clubs day
These past events have provided youth with the opportunity to chat with the various local sport organizers regarding season length, cost, and commitment. BVYSF has been there to provide information about various programs and funding opportunities for your young athletes.
We have hosted two of these events in September 2022 and 2023 but have postponed future events.
