The BC Seniors Games Society
The BC Seniors Games Society is the owner, governing body & main funding partner for the multi-sport annual 55+ BC Games.
The Games are funded primarily by the BCSGS and the Provincial Government.
The Host Societies are guided by the BC Senior Games Society Event Managers to produce the annual Games. The average participation is 3,500 over the 5 day event, leaving behind a $3,300,000 plus Economic Impact in the business Community. Each Participant must be a member of the BC Seniors Games Society.
The Games were first organized in 1987, with the assistance of the Provincial Government, Sport, Recreation and Development branch, for the older adults of BC, as a direct bearing on their quality of life.
