It all starts right here, at the BC Games

BC Games alumni are achieving athletic success on the world stage every day.  We are proud to have been part of the journey for World Champions, Olympians and Paralympians, Stanley Cup Champions, and Major League Baseball MVPs, to name a few.

Athletes competing for Canada on the world stage began their pursuit of sport through community and provincial sport programs and the BC Winter and BC Summer Games have been a vital step in the journey for many.  This early multi-sport experience provides quality coaching, strong competition, and inspiration to pursue sport to the highest level.
