Heather Nivison

My recreation career began in the fitness sector where I worked as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor and fitness coordinator. I’ve dabbled in municipal recreation and corporate fitness but have spent the last 16 years in the private club sector.

I am currently working as the Athletics Director at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis & Badminton Club where I oversee the Aquatics, Fitness, Racquet Sport (tennis, badminton, squash), Sport Shop and Juniors departments. I have extensive experience coordinating special events and sport tournaments of all sizes and work closely with coaches and provincial/national sport organizations. I have a Human Kinetics Diploma from the College of the Rockies and completed my Bachelor of Recreation Management at Langara College. I’m a BCRPA certified personal trainer and supervisor of fitness leaders. I’m passionate about getting people of all ages involved in sport and fitness for life and have a particular interest in supporting female participation.
