The BC Games Society would like to recognize the exceptional work of Jeremy Grant from Judo BC, this year’s recipient of Sport BC’s Presidents’ Award for the BC Games Society. Although the ceremony was unfortunately cancelled this past March due to COVID-19, we would like to take this opportunity to honour Jeremy for his dedication to the sport of judo and his support of the BC Games.

Through Sport BC and its members, ProMOTION Plus strives to ensure gender equity is a standard throughout the provincial sport sector and to ensure girls and women have equal opportunities in physical activity and sport.  For the past 20 years, ProMOTION Plus has worked to help all girls and women in BC have access to a complete range of opportunities, choices, and resources that lead to positive experiences in physical activity and competitive and recreational sport as participants and leaders.

The 2019 Premier’s Awards for Indigenous Youth Excellence in Sport recognized 36 recipients.

Among the inductees were BC Games alumnus Rawnie Weststrate, Team BC alumnus Aaron Lattimer, and BC Games and Team BC alumnus Sue Demuynck.
