Canoe/Kayak athlete Alex Brent is the lucky one chosen to be the flag bearer for Team BC on Aug 7.
This year marks the 11th Western Canada Summer Games which is being held in Wood Buffalo, Alberta. BC has participated in the games since they first began in 1975, winning a trophy every year. Brent never imagined himself being picked to carry the flag for Team BC, now that he has, he’s thrilled.
“I understand the amount of hard work and time that is required to reach this level of competition and it’s a great honour to be selected from a group of such high caliber athletes.”
Team BC is made up of 334 athletes, competing against western provinces across Canada. Some of the phase one sports include: baseball, basketball, beach volleyball and tennis. Phase two includes sports such as: field hockey, cycling, soccer, swimming and many more. The Western Canada Summer Games are held every four years and bring together over 2500 athletes. At the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games, Team BC scored a record 225 medals. And this year they are ready to take on the best of the best.
