BC Games Event Manager headed to Rugby Ontario Hall of Fame as Builder

BC Games Society Event Manager Juli Prokopchuk-Brattan is being inducted into the Rugby Ontario Hall of Fame as a Builder. She is joined in the Class of 2024 by four individuals and one team who have made outstanding contributions to rugby in Ontario.

Prokopchuk-Brattan made a considerable impact on youth rugby during her time in Ontario, dedicating her time to volunteering and coaching from the local level all the way to the national stage.

A gifted athlete in her own right, Prokopchuk-Brattan has given back as a volunteer, coach, and manager in a variety of different sports at a number of different levels. Rugby has been a true family affair, as her husband and children have all coached or played at high levels.

Before joining the BC Games Society as an Event Manager in 2023, she worked and volunteered at organizations across Canada, including Triathlon BC, Special Olympics Saskatchewan and Ontario, and Rugby Ontario. She has taken on a number of leadership roles throughout her career, including Canadian team manager at the Special Olympics World Winter Games Austria 2017 and assistant chef de mission for Special Olympics Team Canada in 2021.

The Class of 2024 will be officially inducted on November 23 as part of the Rugby Ontario Hall of Fame & Awards Dinner in Mississauga, Ontario.
