Culture of the Games Principles
The Culture of the Games outlines and describes the expectations of those associated with the Games. This includes policies, codes of conduct, and information that help individuals know what is expected of them.
It encompasses all safety and safe sport aspects of the Games and strives to inspire everyone to consider the roles they play in shaping the Games experience for everyone.

- has the right to participate in an environment that is supportive, positive, respectful, accessible, and that contributes to exceptional experiences
- has the responsibility to contribute in a positive way to the experiences of everyone involved in the Games and Team BC
