Volunteers Make the Games Possible
Volunteers are the driving force and heart and soul of the BC Games. Each volunteer is committed to ensure that the community comes together in a celebration of pride and that participants have an unforgettable experience. From meal preparation, to transportation, to hospitality, and sport competitions, the enthusiasm and expertise of volunteers is what makes it all happen.
The BC Games Society provides resources to fulfill its philosophy of helping others lead. This includes written and online materials, timelines that ensure everyone reaches milestones at the same time, and staff support. Host community volunteers are encouraged to add their own uniqueness from their community to their Games, making each Games special and amazing for all involved.
By the Numbers
The BC Games is a very large event, one of the largest of its kind in North America. As many as 3,000 volunteers come together for each Games to ensure participants have an unforgettable experience.
A Board of Directors is established in each community by the Mayor and other members of a nominating committee. The Directors are community leaders in their own right and bring their time, energy, and commitment to make the Games a success, leading over 75 committee chairs who manage all aspects of the planning and staging of the Games. Host community volunteers are encouraged to add their own uniqueness from their community to their Games, making each Games special and amazing for all involved.
