The BC Winter Games are BC’s premier multi-sport event for young athletes, coaches, and officials. Taking place every two years, the next Games will be in Vernon, postponed from 2022 to March 23-26, 2023. Archery is a "core sport" in the BC Winter Games which gives our athletes a unique opportunity to compete in a multi-sport event.
This is your opportunity to train to represent your zone at the BC Games. Athletes who shoot Compound, Recurve or Barebow, who were between 15-17 years of age as at December 31, 2022 are eligible to quality for the BC Winter Games (born in 2005, 2006, or 2007). See the technical package for details.
There are eight zones in the province. See what zone your home community is in and cheer for your Zone team!
