Legacy projects unveiled for Maple Ridge 2025 BC Summer Games
The 2024 BC Summer Games host society unveiled three lasting legacy projects from the Games in Maple Ridge during a commemorative event held April 16 at Telosky Stadium.
The three legacy projects include:
- Accessible Bleachers at Telosky Stadium The installation of two accessible bleachers to improve inclusivity and ensure more residents can comfortably enjoy events at one of Maple Ridge’s premier sport facilities.
- Legacy Grove at Telosky Stadium A collection of newly planted trees will enhance the stadium grounds by providing shade, reducing summer heat, and contributing to long-term environmental sustainability. The grove serves as a living legacy that will benefit athletes, spectators, and the broader community for generations.
- Maple Ridge 2024 BC Summer Games Legacy Fund Established in partnership with the Maple Ridge Community Foundation, the Legacy Fund will provide an annual sport grant to local non-profit organizations. This ongoing investment ensures the spirit of the Games continues by supporting grassroots sport development in the community.
The unveiling event also recognized the more than 1,700 volunteers and numerous community partners who helped deliver the Games, which welcomed over 3,100 athletes, coaches, and officials from across British Columbia in July 2024.
