Seniors - Recreation

The mission of the BC Seniors Games Society is to improve the health, lifestyle and image of British Columbia’s 55+ population. We do this by: - Organizing the annual 55+ BC Games as an opportunity for the 55+ population of BC to participate in physical and social activities. - Promoting community awareness of the contemporary image of the 55+ population as physically active and socially engaged. - Encouraging year round participation at the zone level. - By defining the unique needs of this participant group, our organization serves as a bridge between the 55+ population and provincial and local organizations and recreation departments.more info
