The BC Games Society is sad to say goodbye to two wonderful board members who have contributed so much to the direction and scope of the Games. Since joining the BC Games Society Board of Directors in January of 2014, Simon Whitfield and Sarah Zimmerman have served six exceptional years and given their time, skills and insight to improving the BC Games. They will be leaving us in June of 2020 and we are so thankful for their dedicated service.

The BC Games Society would like to extend our congratulations to former BC Games Society Board of Directors member Rochelle Winterton on her retirement as Executive Director of the British Columbia Lacrosse Association (BCLA).

Tell us your story and you may be featured on our social media channels or newsletter!

Former BC Games volunteers Dan and Lana Rodlie are great examples of the kind of hard-working people who make the Games a success. The couple from Greater Trail have spent the last 40 years volunteering and have been recognized for their contribution to the community with the Knights of Columbus Trail-Warfield Citizen of the Year award.

The BC Games Society continues to evolve, building off past Games and staying up to date with advancements in sports safety and technology. At the Fort St. John 2020 BC Winter Games, we successfully implemented multiple new initiatives to create a safer sporting experience. The emotional, mental, and physical safety of participants is the BC Games Society’s top priority and enables young athletes to have the exceptional sport experiences that define the BC Games.

As part of the legacy of the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games, the Nanaimo BC Summer Games Award was established in 2015 to award two students who participated in the Games from the Nanaimo area.
