Sport venues across Surrey were alive with action Saturday, the second day of competition at the 2012 Surrey BC Summer Games.

The first day of competition at the 2012 Surrey BC Summer Games got underway Friday with many of the 2,300 athletes having to contend with less than ideal weather at the outdoor venues.

The 2012 BC Summer Games officially kicked off in Surrey on Thursday with a colourful and enthusiastic Opening Ceremony celebration.

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multisport experience at a BC Games.

The BC Games have become part of the historical record of 38 communities across the province and for many, an honour and experience that has inspired them to build a vibrant sport tourism industry.

Organized sport events, no matter how big or small, have an environmental impact. With the help of its motivated volunteers, the BC Games Society is striving to reduce its environmental impact and raise awareness.
