Sports at the BC Games
Our sports are the reason participants, volunteers, and partners come together every two years.
A competitive multi-sport experience, the BC Games are an essential part of the sport development pathway for athletes, coaches, and officials in British Columbia.
The sports in the Games are selected through the Core Sport policy, which showcases how Provincial Sport Organizations fit the Games within their overall sport development plans.
Core Sport Policy
The Core Sport Policy outlines how sports are included in the BC Winter and BC Summer Games. It ensures the Games continue to reflect the BC Games Society’s commitment to athlete development, responsible sport delivery, and meaningful participation opportunities across British Columbia.
The policy is grounded in the vision, mission, and values of the BC Games Society and is guided by five key principles: dedicated, accountable, collaborative, evolving, and excellence. These principles shape how decisions are made and how the policy is applied.
Technical Packages
Sports are required to submit and maintain technical requirements for their participation in the BC Games through the sport Technical Package, as well as inform the BC Games Society of its minimum facility requirements. These materials outline how competition will be structured and delivered, athlete and coach eligibility, and requirements for safe and equitable sport delivery.
Rules and technical information for participating in the BC Games are specific to each Games and are established for each Games.
