The participants hailed from across the province, representing 177 communities and all 87 constituencies. The 2,430 athletes competed in 22 different sports and were supported by 482 coaches and 213 officials, who have earned both sport-specific and Safe Sport certifications to ensure a competitive and safe environment for athletes.

“We are excited that participants from every corner of the province will have a chance to come together and experience the BC Summer Games,” said Alison Noble, BC Games Society President and CEO ahead of the start of the games. “Volunteers have been hard at work with planning for more than a year as Maple Ridge gets set to put on a unique celebration of sport during their 150th anniversary.”
