BC Games.
These Games are the largest annual multi-sport event in British Columbia, offering an
exciting opportunity to celebrate active living with participants from across the

physical activity and friendly competition.
To the athletes, coaches, officials and my fellow sports enthusiasts, I offer a warm

friendly city. I would also like to express my appreciation to the organizers, sponsors
and volunteers who have worked hard to make the 33rd Annual 55+ BC Games a reality.

Welcome
The Hon. Melanie Mark
Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport
On behalf of Premier John Horgan and the Government of British Columbia, I am delighted
to welcome you to the Greater Victoria 2022 55+ BC Games, taking place for the first time in
B.C.’s beautiful capital city of Victoria.
The 55+ BC Games offers a multi-sport experience with great opportunities for participants
to showcase their athletic abilities and demonstrate that sport participation is rewarding
at any age. Sport events like this, bring people together and are important contributors to
the tourism sector and local economies in drawing visitors from across the province, and in
bolstering local jobs and businesses that provide for British Columbians and their families.
The 55+ BC Games are also a key part of building a more inclusive, diverse and accessible
sport sector in British Columbia. Our government is committed to ensuring everyone has
equal opportunity to participate in and enjoy the benefits of sport. Active living is an important contributor
to long-term health and social well being. It builds strength, supports mental health, boosts confidence and
engages people in their communities. For all of these benefits this is why our government is pleased to provide
financial support to BC Seniors Games Society for the 55+ BC Games.
Thank you to the Greater Victoria 2022 55+ BC Games Host Society for organizing this event. Each year these
games attract over 3,600 participants and require approximately 1,200 volunteers to stage and deliver the
games. To all the volunteers involved in making these games happen, I commend you for your service. I know
these games provide valuable opportunities for people to stay active and to pursue their passion in a variety of
sports and activities. Your contributions are an important part of making our sport sector shine.
Best wishes for a successful Greater Victoria 2022 55+ BC Games.

Paul Nursey CEO Destination Greater Victoria
Destination Greater Victoria is thrilled to support the 55+ BC Games. This is the first time
the 55+ BC Games has come to our region. It provides the opportunity to showcase our
fantastic venues, hotels, restaurants, and attractions to people from across BC. Greater
Victoria’s volunteer base is second to none, and this week you will see our community
spirit shine. To our hardworking volunteers—we salute your dedication and efforts!
I would also like to thank the sponsoring municipalities: Victoria, Esquimalt, Saanich, Oak
Bay, and Langford. The 55+ BC Games could not take place without your funding and
venues. To the sponsors and partners, your collaboration and support of the Greater
Victoria 2022 55+ BC Games Host Society. Specifically, I would like to thank our hotel
partners, who have been instrumental in bringing the 55+ BC Games to Greater Victoria.
This is a true community event, and your partnership is integral to delivering a successful
Games.
This will be a memorable week for the athletes, volunteers, organizers, and everyone involved.
Enjoy it! To the athletes, play your best and have fun.
We hope your stay inspires you to return to our beautiful destination.

GAMES ARTIST - BUTCH DICK
We are honoured to have Coast Salish artist Clarence (Butch) Dick’s original
Indigenous design, Salish Seawolf, featured on our Games’ merchandise.
The design comes from the following story told to him by a Saanich Elder:
At one time, there was a pod of killer whales swimming in the bay.
They swam in a circle, increasing their speed as they swam. Suddenly, they broke
for the shore and as they did, they transformed into seawolves.
At the shore, they changed into wolves of many colours and then spread
throughout the land to establish communities.
Butch Dick is a Lekwungen Elder, an artist and respected educator who
received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Royal Roads University in
2021 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from Leadership Victoria in 2015.

They may jump higher, run or skate faster and swim farther than the rest of
us, but even dedicated athletes need someone in their corner. At Raymond

financial and beyond. Since 1962, we’ve built on the charitable legacy
