The LIFC in 2027
Crush the ice! Lead your team to victory!
From March 5 to 7, the LIFC is coming back to the Festival du Bois in Coquitlam for three days of non-stop fun, intense matches, and surprises!
It’s a unique chance to experience an exciting adventure right at the heart of a festival! Meet the audience, showcase your improv skills and of course, win the League cup!
Alongside the tournament, a packed program awaits you to discover improv and have fun! Expect busy days filled with games, workshops, and activities that will make you laugh and keep you surprised!
WHAT’S THE LIFC?
The Youth Francophone Improv League (LIFC) is one of BC Francophone Youth Council’s major events! Every year, it brings together CSF students in grade 8 through12 from across the province for a major improv tournament.
Over three days, teams from different schools will face off in the Festival du Bois tent in Coquitlam during epic matches combining humor, creativity, and plenty of surprises!
Coaching that matches your energy!
Each team will be supported by a coach during practice before and throughout the tournament, helping you and your team to take your improv even further!
Taking part in the LIFC is a unique chance to connect with youth from your school and across the province, show your talents on the ice, and give it your all to bring the victory to your team.
How is the tournament going?
Find your team
There are several options : you can create your own team of 4 to 6 members from your school OR join a team that’s being formed in your area ! To do that, it’s super easy: encourage your friends to sign up, launch a recruitment campaign, ask someone at your school for help or email us before registering - we can support you in finding a team.
Get ready
Before the event, your team will practice with a coach to get familiar with improv. During the event weekend, we’re putting together workshops and training sessions so you can master the tournament rules, develop improv techniques, and be ready for game day.
Matches
The tournament will take place on Saturday and Sunday at the Festival du Bois. All teams will compete in qualification matches. At the end of each scene, the audience votes for the team with the best improvisation. The teams with the highest scores qualify for the semifinals, then the final. At the end of the tournament, one team is declared winner and lifts the League trophy! Besides the main competition, you’ll also have the chance to play in special, no-pressure matches!
THROWBACK ON 2026 EDITION
This latest edition of the LIFC was highlighted by the big return of our improv tournament at the Festival du Bois in Coquitlam!
Around thirty youth from across B.C., supported by their incredible coaches, performed for two days before an enthusiastic audience under a tent filled with the colours of Franco-Colombian youth.
In addition to improv, the LIFC offered an experience full of creativity, good vibes, laughter and social gatherings that brought everyone together. Congratulations to the players for your incredible performances, especially to the Fantômes du Old Spaghetti Factory (from Comox and Kelowna), our winning team of the year!
Thank you to the coaches and our amazing volunteers from the 18+ Improv League who shared their passion with the youth, as well as hosting and refereeing the matches all weekend.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s tournament!
