Josh always wanted to be a professional athlete growing up and now he makes a living through sports…just not for his abilities on the court!  Josh moved to Victoria from Kelowna in 1998 to attend UVic and study Recreation Management and after graduating, he loved the laid-back island life so much he decided to stick around.  For the past 20 years Josh has been a part of the sport and recreation scene in Victoria and loves every minute of it. In 2007 Josh co-founded West Coast Recreation and successfully ran high quality programs for over 10 years.  When the opportunity arose to partner with Chris and Steve – Urban Rec Victoria was born!

Jason was more than thrilled to join the Urban Rec team in August of 2013 and is just as excited to be playing a key role in supporting our partnership in Victoria. Playing sports his entire life, Jason brings with him a wealth of both competitive and recreation sporting experiences. His energy, sense of humor, and passion for sports make him the ultimate team guy.

Jason now enjoys a more recreational approach to his sports, and Urban Rec provided him the perfect opportunity to have fun with his friends, while staying active. You will often find him on various softball fields, golf courses, and tennis courts during the day, and supporting local clubhouses while enjoying his Canucks, Red Sox, and NFL teams at night.
