Team BC

Every four years the Province of British Columbia assembles a team of athletes, coaches, managers and mission staff to represent the province at Canada’s premiere multi-sport events - the Canada Winter Games and Canada Summer Games. They represent the best in BC and they are known as Team BC. The Canada Games are a national multi-sport competition with participation from every province and territory in Canada and take place on an alternating summer/winter cycle every four years.

The Province of British Columbia also assembles a team of athletes, coaches, managers and mission staff to represent the province at the Western Canada Summer Games. The Western Canada Summer Games bi-sect the Canada Summer Games cycle (the Technical Packages are aligned two years younger than the Canada Summer Games ages) and provide an opportunity for BC's top age-class athletes to test their athletic talent against the best in the west. BC is the eight-time defending champion of the Western Canada Summer Games Cup.

Beyond the actual sport competition, each edition of the Canada Games is unique because of the host communities who, for five years or more prior to the actual Games, design an event that will make their particular community proud and their visitors feel at home.
