Canada Summer Games
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 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.
For some athletes, the Canada Games are a goal along the way to what they hope will be success in sport at major multi-sport Games including Olympic and Paralympic Games. For others, the Canada Games are the goal, their personal dream. Team BC represents the best athletes, BC’s collective sport system and the contribution to healthy, active lifestyles.
Team BC is about getting to know other Canadians from a lifetime of memories for participants in one of Canada’s greatest celebrations of sport.
