Volunteers Make the Games Possible

The BC Games is a very large event, one of the largest of its kind in North America.  As many as 3,000 volunteers come together for each Games to ensure participants have an unforgettable experience.

Each volunteer plays a vital role in putting on a celebration of pride and ensuring that participants have an unforgettable experience. From meal preparation, to transportation, to hospitality, and sport competitions, the enthusiasm and expertise of volunteers is what makes it all happen.

Volunteer with us!

In the months before each BC Games, a call is put out in the community and online for volunteers.

Registration is online and volunteers can select areas that they would like to help with. Once registered, volunteers will be assigned a Directorate and a host society volunteer will reach out with more information.

HOST SOCIETIES

Bringing Communities Together

Host community volunteers are involved in every aspect of Games planning. Up to 3000 volunteers are needed to plan and stage the BC Winter and BC Summer Games.

The BC Games Society provides resources to fulfill its philosophy of helping others lead.  This includes written and online materials, timelines that ensure everyone reaches milestones at the same time, and staff support. Host community volunteers are encouraged to add their own uniqueness from their community to their Games, making each Games special and amazing for all involved.

BC GAMES SOCIETY

Board of Directors

A Board of Directors is established in each community by the Mayor and other members of a nominating committee.

The Directors are community leaders in their own right and bring their time, energy, and commitment to make the Games a success, leading over 75 committee chairs who manage all aspects of the planning and staging of the Games. Host community volunteers are encouraged to add their own uniqueness from their community to their Games, making each Games special and amazing for all involved.
