He will provide strong guidance and support to our staff, volunteers, players and coaches as they continue building on the OSC’s substantial history of growth and development. The Board is enthusiastic about working with Paul to lead the OSC into a positive and dynamic future. We are thrilled to welcome Paul Varian to the OSC.”
Varian said, “I am delighted to be joining Oakville Soccer Club as its new Chief Administrative Officer. The Club’s reputation of being one of Canada’s finest sport institutions extends across the country and I am extremely thankful to the Board of Directors for extending me this opportunity. I look forward to working with the Club’s staff, Board, volunteers and partners in helping the organization meet its developmental goals over the coming years.”
Sport BC is the independent federation for amateur sport in BC which includes the province’s 65 sport organizations.
