Exciting news for BC Games enthusiasts! The 50th anniversary celebrations in 2028 will be a blast with Kamloops and Penticton hosting the Games once again. Find out more about the upcoming events and game changers nominated for awards.

The BC Games Society is gearing up for a memorable 50th-anniversary celebration in 2028 by announcing the host cities for the upcoming events. Kamloops and Penticton will be the epicenters of the excitement, as they welcome athletes and spectators from all over British Columbia. The return to the roots of the Games in these original host communities adds a nostalgic touch to the milestone edition.

In a nod to history, Penticton will host the BC Summer Games, fifty years after its first hosting gig. Meanwhile, Kamloops, the original host of the BC Winter Games, will also reclaim its role in February 2028, setting the stage for an unforgettable winter sports extravaganza. The blend of tradition and modernity in these host cities promises a unique and thrilling experience for participants and fans alike.

Adding a twist to traditional board games, the controversy surrounding the inclusion of apps in gameplay has sparked debates among enthusiasts. While some appreciate the innovation, others remain loyal to the classic board game experience. The intersection of technology and tradition in board game design reflects the evolving landscape of recreational activities, catering to a diverse audience of players.

Alongside the excitement of the upcoming Games, the anticipation builds for the announcement of game changers to be honored with awards during the Maple Ridge 2024 BC Games. The recognition of influential figures in sports leadership and the celebration of achievements in the field highlight the importance of mentorship and inspiration in the athletic community. As preparations unfold for the milestone 50th anniversary editions, the BC Games continue to showcase the talent and dedication of young athletes across the province.
