How are
sports selected to be included in the BC Summer or Winter Games?
Several criteria are used to select sports for the BC Summer and
Winter Games. Key criteria include the commitment of the
provincial sport organization to integrating the BC Games in their
athlete, coach, and officials development, participation in all
regions of the province, facilities available in the host
community, and the wishes of the host community. Sports are
classified as core sports or optional sports.
How can I
participate in the BC Summer or Winter Games?
The BC Games Society works in partnership with the provincial
sport organizations to determine eligibility criteria for the each
Games. The provincial sport organization and their representatives
determine the dates and locations of playdown or selection events
for the Games. Eligibility
rules for sports in the Games are published in a rulebook prior to
each Games. Additional information can be obtained from the
provincial sport organization representatives listed in the
current rulesbook.
