Celebrating a coaching legacy - Marc Rizzardo
2020 was a special year for our Langara Falcons Athletics program. Longtime coach and mentor, Marc Rizzardo celebrated 30 years at Langara. To commemorate his legacy, several former players and colleagues came together to honour his anniversary with an appeal to raise funds to build an award established in his name, the Marc Rizzardo Athletic Scholarship. This award is designated to recognize student-athletes for their athletic achievements. Thanks to the many donors who contributed to the award. We were able to raise $$$. Marc’s dedication to his craft leaves a lasting impression on the many student-athletes he has coached. Learn more about Marc’s accomplishments and watch a video of colleagues, and athletes as they honour him.
