ABBOTSFORD — The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) has named its new Athletics and Campus Recreation Director. Nick Sirski was appointed by the school and will officially move into the role August 11. Sirski comes to UFV from the athletic department at Simon Fraser University.

Sirski is originally from Winnipeg. He attended university at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario where he was a member of a Vanier Cup winning team in 2009. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with honours at Queens before completing a Master of Education in Health Education & Active Living at Simon Fraser.

“I had such a great athletic and academic experience at Queen’s University. I want to be able to replicate that for young people moving forward,” Sirski explained.

A UFV news release states Sirski previously worked in a variety of roles within the Athletics and Recreation Departments at both Queen’s University and Simon Fraser University, picking up experiences in marketing, communications, events, and sponsorship.

Sirski believes that he sees athletics at UFV as something for the whole community can enjoy. “Particularly in Abbotsford, we can become a destination for people to go to sporting events on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to bring their families and experience sports,” said Sirski.
