Principles and Expectations

The BC Games Society strives to inspire exceptional experiences by creating a positive, respectful, inclusive, and accessible environment.

We believe that everyone associated with Team BC:

      • has the right to participate in an environment that is supportive, positive, respectful, accessible, and that contributes to exceptional experiences and
      • has the responsibility to contribute in a positive way to the experiences of everyone involved in the Games and Team BC

Members of Team BC are expected to conduct themselves at all times in the spirit of fair play and in a responsible manner. This is expected of participants from the beginning of their selection camp until they return home from the Canada Games.

TERRITORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We respectfully acknowledge the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen)-speaking Peoples on whose traditional territory the BC Games Society office stands, and the Songhees, Xwsepsum, and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. We recognize that our work in this province spans the territories of more than 200 First Nations, as well as Métis and Inuit communities.
