ALUMNI ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE
Olympic and Paralympic Tradition
When a community is awarded the Games, through the bidding process, a nominations committee, led by the local mayor, identifies community leaders to form the Board of Directors. The Board for each BC Winter and BC Summer Games then forms its own Society.
The Board is organized into 14 planning areas (Directorates). The work in the Directorates is overseen by a Director and managed by committee chairs (75+ chairs in total). Collectively the Directors and Chairs lead as many as 3,200 community volunteers as they undertake to plan and stage the Games.
ACCESSIBILITY PLAN
Building an Accessible Games
The BC Games Society strives to inspire exceptional experiences for all participants by fostering an accessible, positive, respectful, and inclusive environment for all participants.
The Society has developed a BC Games Accessibility Plan, which outlines the guiding principles and protocols to ensure an inclusive and accessible Games experience for all participants.
