With an eye on fitness and fun, bid packages have been
sent to 62 municipalities throughout British Columbia for the 2013/14 BC Senior Games (BCSG).
The BCSG Society is asking mayors and community leaders to step up and be part of this exciting opportunity for athletes 55-plus. The multi-sport games bring as many as 3,500 participants to the host communities and regions. Sports range from ice hockey to cribbage to soccer.
The society is a volunteer, non-profit society and its mission statement is to improve the health, lifestyle and image of all 55-plus British Columbians. The society carries out its mandate in two principal ways:
• By organizing the BC Seniors Games as an annual opportunity for seniors to participate in physical and social activities; and
• By proactively portraying a contemporary image of seniors as physically fit and socially engaged.
By defining the unique needs of this participant group, the society serves as a bridge between the 55 years and older population and provincial and local sports organizations and recreation departments.
