Renowned athletics coach (founding member of Universal Athletics club) and Delta City Councillor Jessie Dosanjh praised BC's contribution in Canada’s medal haul at the world championship.

In a telephonic interview with Connect FM, Jessie Dosanjh said, “sometimes the talent of local athletes does not get recognized as the focus shifts towards the medal winners.” Dosanjh said, “Jasneet Nijjar, who represented Canada in the 4x400 meter mixed relay, gave good timings and the community is proud of her.” He added, “this is good for Jasneet and she should use the valuable experience to be better prepared for 2028 Olympics.”
