Registering for the Games.
Registration is the first step for all participants on their journey to the BC Games.
Once Zone teams have been selected, Provincial and Disability Sport Organizations (PSO and DSO) work closely with BC Games Society staff to register athletes, coaches, and officials. Information provided during registration helps staff assign participants to transportation and accommodation, and ensures participants receive important information and updates.

REGISTRATION FEES
The $175 athlete registration fee covers the cost of travel to/from, and at the Games, meals, accommodation, your competition, special events, and entertainment. Note that some sports may charge an additional fee for qualification events, training, or uniforms.
Why do I have to pay a registration fee?
Staging the BC Summer and BC Winter Games takes volunteer energy and financial support. As the recipient of the work and investment being made on your behalf, the BC Games Society appreciates your contribution of the Athlete Registration Fee used as part of the overall funding of the BC Games.
To provide some perspective, we have conservatively calculated the cost per athlete at just under $600, not including competition fees, which can be as much as $250 per event.
Who do I pay the registration fee to?
Registration fees are paid to your Provincial Sport Organization, who will submit them to the BC Games Society on your behalf. Each sport manages this process differently; ask your Zone Representative, zone coach, or Provincial Advisor for information.
PARTICIPANT BIO FORM
The participant bio form is your opportunity to tell us about yourself. We use this information to assist our partners Global BC and Black Press in preparing stories for the Games. This information is also used by Games volunteers when reporting on stories or shared with media to help profile out athletes or teams. If you don’t tell us about yourself, we won’t know!
