Merchandise at Games is one of those permanent mementos participants keep for a long time. At Games the merchandise contractor sets up booths or kiosks where personalized items can be purchased and pre-Games, merchandise can be purchased online.

Through a province-wide open tendering process, Special T Group Events (STGE) was awarded the contract as the official and exclusive supplier of merchandise for the BC Winter and BC Summer Games. STGE will work with the host society to provide all merchandise sales items.

In 1986 STGE began operations as Special T Graphics Ltd. with the main emphasis on providing top quality graphic designs for event merchandise and custom orders to clients and organizers alike. Today, STGE is Canada’s largest on-site event merchandiser of apparel garments and other souvenir products specifically branded for organization’s sporting, corporate or community events.

“We are excited to embark on a new journey with Special T Group Events,” said Alison Noble, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. “We know both volunteers and participants love to purchase Games gear throughout the weekend and we are confident STGE will provide the product that all fans will love.”

“On behalf of the entire Special T Group Events team I want to say how excited and honoured we are to be ‘back in the game’ as the Official Merchandiser of the upcoming BC Winter and BC Summer Games,” added Derrick Pelley, STGE Canadian Sales Manager. “Our mandate has always been to support local, amateur sport and I can't think of a more effective way than to be in this partnership with BC Games Society.  We are looking forward to the next six years of positive experiences and most of all helping sports associations across our beautiful province attain their goals.”

STGE is a full service event merchandiser including everything from artwork design, garment printing, inventory manufacturing, on-site sales, pre and post event on-line sales and all administration required to meet an organization’s event merchandising needs.
