The Games

To provide an opportunity for the development of athletes, coaches, and officials in preparation for higher levels of competition in a multi-sport event which promotes interest and participation in sport and sporting activities, individual achievement, and community development.

The BC Summer and BC Winter Games are held every second year in even calendar years. The BC Winter Games are held in late February and the BC Summer Games in late July.

The BC Games Society establishes the general rules for all sports and participants in the Games. Sport-specific rules are established by the respective Provincial Sport Organization in conjunction with BC Games Society staff, and within the criteria of the BC Games Society Core policy. The Core Sport policy and the tie to the Canadian Sport for Life framework means that the BC Games include the best athletes, coaches, and officials from across the province.
