Football BC would like to offer our condolences to the family and friends of Coach Bill Plant, who passed away last month back on May 16.
A celebration of life will be held for Bill on Saturday, August 24 from 2 pm to 6 pm at the Capilano Rugby Club in North Vancouver.
Coach Plant was involved with the BC football family in many ways on the North Shore as a player, coach and administrator. His playing career began in the GSL before moving on to West Vancouver Secondary. He then moved on to the North Shore Cougars of the Big 4 before joining the UBC Thunderbirds (1965-67) under the tutelage of the legendary Frank Gnup.
After his playing career, he’d go on to coaching with stops at Windsor Secondary, West Vancouver Secondary, and Sentinel Secondary – the latter he guided to a AA championship in 2003. He was also part of the coaching staff of the North Shore Cougars in the late 70’s and early 80’s and also coached at various summer camps including Larry Reda’s Western Canadian All-Star Camp. He was also a director of Football BC.
