The BC Games Society is seeking a qualified candidate to fill the role of Games Marketing Coordinator. 

It’s that time of year to nominate an exceptional coach for viaSport’s Coach of the Year Awards! Founded by the Coaches Association of BC, the Coach of the Year Awards recognize outstanding coaches in British Columbia for their dedication and contribution to sport. The awards celebrate community leaders who continually inspire athletes to realize and reach their potential, qualities we have seen in many BC Games coaches.

The BC Games Society is pleased to announce that Anna Huber, a Thomas Haney Secondary Student, is the inaugural recipient of the Karina LeBlanc Game Changer Award. Named after hometown hero Karina LeBlanc, retired Olympic bronze medalist and one of the longest serving soccer players for Canada, the award recognizes and celebrates young individuals who have created opportunities for underrepresented youth in their community to participate more fully in sport.
