The BC Summer Games are British Columbia’s biennial celebration of sport and community. Since 1978, the BC Games (Summer & Winter) have taken place in 38 communities and involved over 350,000 participants and volunteers and thousands more as spectators and supporters. The purpose of the BC Games is “To provide an opportunity for the development of athletes, coaches, and officials in preparation for higher levels of competition in a multi-sport event which promotes interest and participation in sport and sporting activities, individual achievement and community development.”
The BC Games bring together British Columbia’s best emerging high-performance athletes, trained coaches, and certified officials for four days of competition. This experience is an important development opportunity and stepping stone towards higher level sports competitions.
COWICHAN 2018
The BC Games Society has announced that the 2018 BC Summer Games will take place in Cowichan. Up to 2808 athletes, 543 coaches, and 373 officials representing 18 sports will gather on Vancouver Island for four days of celebration and competition, July 19-22, 2018. Rugby Sevens will once again be part of the action, showcasing some of the best young female talent from across the province.
“2016 was a huge success for girls rugby in the BC Summer Games. It was the first time we were able to field a team in all eight zones and it has contributed to the growth of rugby throughout all of BC,” said Darcy Patterson, Development Officer for BC Rugby. “It was the catalyst to the recent Inaugural BC Rugby Girls’ Invitational 7’s Rugby Tournament in Kamloops. “We are excited to have this opportunity in 2018 and will look forward to the lasting effects of the Games on the growth of sevens rugby in BC.”
