BC's Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, the Hon. Melanie Mark announced today that the City of Quesnel will host the 2024 BC Winter Games.
The city last hosted the BC Winter Games in 2000 and most recently hosted the 2019 BC Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships as well as the 2019 Softball BC Provincial Championships U16C Girls. The West Fraser Centre was completed in 2017 and since that time the city has had a renewed focus on hosting sport and cultural events.
The BC Winter Games are an important developmental milestone for B.C.’s emerging high-performance athletes. Over 2000 athletes, coaches, managers, and officials will participate in approximately 19 sports.
BC Games host communities benefit from direct economic impact, community, and sport development legacies, as well as the opportunity to engage volunteers in a celebration of community pride. The Games will be organized and staged by a community Board of Directors and up to 2,000 volunteers.
Two other communities were announced as hosts of future BC Games in separate events held simultaneously today. The 2024 BC Summer Games will be held in Maple Ridge and the 2026 BC Summer Games in Kelowna.
Quesnel Mayor Bob Simpson stated:
"Hosting events like this is exactly what Council has had our eyes on as we’ve accessed grants and made investments in our hosting precinct. These Games and events like this bring an economic boost to our community in the tourism off-season, and are an important part of our Transition Strategy. I look forward to welcoming the Games back to Quesnel, showing off our facilities and community hospitality.”
While Chief Clifford Lebrun, Lhtako Dene First Nation said:
"“We look forward to welcoming young athletes, their coaches, and officials from across British Columbia to the traditional territory of Lhtako Dene"
