Sport supports healthy choices, builds self-reliance and confidence, and inspires youth to become leaders. The BC Winter and BC Summer Games provide athletes from across the province with an important competitive opportunity and exceptional experience to learn about teamwork, goal setting, friendship, and community excellence.

Athletes as well as youth coaches and officials taking part in the BC Winter and BC Summer Games are invited to apply for the BC Games Leadership Bursary. Supported by Canadian Tire, the bursaries recognize participants under 19 years of age who have achieved in academics and sport while going above and beyond in their communities through leadership and volunteer activities.
