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.

Named after Karina LeBlanc, retired Olympic bronze medalist and one of the longest serving soccer players for Canada, the Karina LeBlanc Game Changer Award was developed to recognize the achievement of a young individual who has created opportunities for underrepresented youth in their community to participate more fully in sport.

The BC Games Society is requesting proposals for financial audit services for the BC Games Society and for the BC Winter and BC Summer Games. 

The BC Games Society is rallying behind the City of Maple Ridge following cancellation of this year’s summer games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Province, through the society, is providing $125,000 to support local sport and community development projects and ensure people will still benefit from the city being chosen to host the BC Summer Games.

The BC Games Society is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members to its Board of Directors. Both will contribute their unique expertise and leadership to build upon the Society‘s success in sport and community development.

The spirit of the BC Games is to provide exceptional experiences by creating a positive, respectful, inclusive, and accessible environment. Each BC Games leaves behind legacy funding to continue this spirit in the host community. The legacy funding from the 2016 BC Summer Games went towards building a more inclusive and accessible Grant Park in Abbotsford. Among the three new baseball diamonds that were built is one for players with disabilities from the Abbotsford Angels’ Challenger division.
