2022 55+ BC Games

Meet the Moment.

In September 2022, Greater Victoria will welcome participants from across British Columbia for the 33rd  55+ BC Games. This will be the first time Greater Victoria will be a Games host. 

Participants, volunteers and those cheering in the stands  come together to meet this moment in time. For the past  year and a half we’ve been isolated from friends and loved  ones as we collectively battle a pandemic. Now, we celebrate not only our chance to reconnect in person, but our ability to  transcend the challenge and emerge stronger, fitter and more  committed to the importance of community spirit and  togetherness. 

The Games run September 13 – 17 and feature more than 30 sports,  including tennis, hockey, soccer, swimming, golf and lawn bowling.
