Surrey Hosts 2025 Legacy Gala for Provincial Wrestling Club
Surrey played host to the Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club’s 2025 Legacy Gala on October 10 at Bombay Banquet Hall. The event, billed as a gathering to honour Canadian athletic excellence and to invest in future champions, drew local dignitaries, athletes, and supporters.
The gala supports BMWC’s mission to help wrestlers cover training, competition, and travel costs as they pursue provincial, national, and Olympic ambitions.
Event Highlights & Key Guests
The program included speeches, awards, and fundraising elements like table sponsorships. Tickets ranged in table levels (Gold, Silver, Bronze) to support club operations.
The mayor’s attendance underscores the city’s ongoing support for local sport development.
Surrey’s Broader Sports Facility Commitments
This gala comes at a moment when Surrey is expanding its athletic infrastructure. The city plans to add a new wrestling and multi-use space at the Surrey Sport & Leisure Complex in Fleetwood — 6,500 square feet of upgraded facility is underway.
That makes Surrey not just a host city for sport events, but an active participant in investing into sport infrastructure.
Looking Ahead
BMWC’s gala is more than a fundraiser — it’s a signal that regional sport organizations and municipal leaders see value in leveraging Surrey as a hub for athletics and community gathering.
The funds raised will directly help wrestlers who might otherwise struggle with the costs of competition.
As the next chapter of local sport infrastructure unfolds, events like these help connect the dots between community support, athlete opportunity, and civic vision.
