Humanitarian of the Year: Tosaint Ricketts

Tosaint Ricketts has been an exemplary team member on and off the pitch this season.

Ricketts was the club’s player ambassador for the It Takes A Village fundraising artwork campaign, honouring frontline heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic and raising over $140K for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. As part of the initiative, Ricketts was also able to gift art pieces to British Columbia’s provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC Nurses Union president Christine Sorensen, and staff at BC Children’s Hospital.

Ricketts has also been a passionate advocate for social justice and anti-racism. He is active in the MLS Black Players for Change organization, and continues to support greater diversity and inclusion in our club and community.
