The BC Lions are more than just accomplished athletes; the players are also community minded.
They spend a lot of their off season visiting British Columbia schools with presentations ranging from the environment to the importance of making positive choices.
Members of the BC Lions will be at Peter Skene Ogden Senior Secondary School (PSO) to discuss their new program, More Than a Bystander, on March 8, starting at 1 p.m.
The program will break the silence surrounding violence against women and girls by providing tools, language and practical ideas about how to be more than a bystander.
They will also talk about how to speak up and how to communicate that violence and abuse is not acceptable.
After the presentation, they will have a breakout session for interested students to discuss the topics brought forward during the assembly.
