BC Games alumni contribute to Team BC's 87 medals

Team BC had resounding success at the 2019 Canada Winter Games, brining home 87 medals – including a record-setting 30 gold medals. 

The unprecedented success is certainly attributable to our strong provincial sport system and the work of Provincial Sport Organizations to provide high level coaching and competitive opportunities.

The BC Winter and BC Summer Games are also an important part of the development of athletes and are the first step for many to experience a multi-sport Games environment and where they find the drive and motivation to take their sport further.

Over 55 percent of Team BC was made up of BC Games alumni including 141 athletes who drew upon their past provincial Games experience and applied it on the national stage where they won or contributed to 51 of Team BC’s 87 medals.
