Kodiaks Leadership Council

Kodiaks Leadership Council
The Kodiak Leadership Council (KLC) is a group of student-athlete representatives from each team who meet weekly to learn and discuss various leadership topics. The KLC's goal is to provide a voice for student-athletes, promote equality within the school community and build strong relationships between Kodiaks Athletes and the Lethbridge Community. The main focuses of the council are:
 
  1. Personal Leadership
  2. Leading Your Team
  3. Connecting Kodiaks Athletics 
  4. Reaching The Lethbridge Community 

2021-2022 Initiatives 

Yak Bash

The 'Yak Bash' was an event hosted by the KLC where athletes from various sports came together to compete with and against each other in basketball, futsal and dodgeball. There was over 80 athletes who attended. The event was an incredible success and allowed for Kodiaks athletes to connect with each other in a way they never have before.  

Make Some Noise  

In the 7th year of presentation, the ACAC adjusted the annual Make Some Noise for Mental Health campaign. Instead of directing student- athletes about how to Make Some Noise, they want to empower student-athletes to creatively demonstrate how they choose to Make Some Noise. 

The KLC lead the Kodiaks' Make Some Noise campaign and their efforts were recognized with an achievement award.

Some highlights of the Kodiaks campaign included:

  • The Kodiaks Tribune, a platform that will live on and give student-athletes an outlet to share their own experiences with mental health
  • Olivia DePasquale's shared her journey with mental health by creating a personal video
  • Liam Frost collaborated with the Lethbridge College Wellness Services department to deliver information sessions to Kodiaks student-athletes and coaches that touched on the wide range of mental health services and resources available on campus

Kids Sport Day

On Friday April 8th the KLC hosted a Kids Sports Day for grades 3-5 students from Immanuel Christian Elementary School. Over 20 Kodiaks athletes from all teams lead the kids through track and field, soccer, volleyball and basketball stations, teaching them various games and sport fundamentals. There was over 100 children who attended the afternoon!
