Vancouver Le Chéile is run by a dedicated volunteer committee that oversees the smooth operation and development of the club. As a youth GAA club, we rely on strong community support and clear governance to provide a safe, inclusive, and well-organized environment for our players and families.
Our club is affiliated with Vancouver GAA and operates in line with the guidelines of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and Gaelic Games Canada. We hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) each year, where members are invited to review the club’s progress, discuss future plans, and elect committee officers.
