Welcome to Mount Boucherie Secondary, where we are privileged to live, work, learn, and play on the traditional, unceded territory of the syilx/Okanagan people. We are very proud to be hosting the Joe Kolar Classic Basketball tournament, and are appreciative of the Kelowna Fire Department, West Kelowna Fire Rescue, and Kolar Family who have partnered with us to honour the memory of Joe Kolar, an outstanding Mount Boucherie graduate and community supporter.
Thank you to all of our staff and students who have organized our tournament, and to all of the teams and their support people who have travelled to our school to represent their schools and play at Mount Boucherie. We wish all of the participating coaches and athletes the best of luck in the Joe Kolar Classic, and we hope that you enjoy your experience as much as our school does in hosting this tournament. Have fun, play hard and take home some great memories
We are proud to host the Joe Kolar Classic Basketball Tournament on January 14th-16th at Mount Boucherie Secondary. This event honours Joe Kolar, a beloved MBSS Alumni, Kelowna firefighter and dedicated coach, who was a leader in our community and an inspiration to many.
The tournament not only celebrates Joe’s legacy but also helps support the Joe Kolar Classic Bursary, awarded to a student-athlete who embodies Joe’s values of commitment, leadership, and sportsmanship
Donate to the bursary fund through the district donation link or school cash online. For tax receipts, please indicate that your donation is for the MBSS Joe Kolar Classic Bursary in the description box
