BC Winter Games
Archery is a "core sport" in the BC Winter Games which gives our athletes a unique opportunity to compete in a multi-sport event.The BC Winter Games are BC’s premier multi-sport event for young athletes, coaches, and officials.

Zone shirts
BC Archery has organized the ordering of the Zone shirts in order to ease the burden on the Coaches and minimize regional disparities. The cost of the team shirt is included in the athlete's registration fee. Shirts will be distributed at Thursday's Practice session at the Games.Fundraising:
The Provincial Advisor has been fundraising ahead of the Trials and team selection. Fundraising efforts have included the sale of Epicure Fundraiser boxes and 50/50 draws at Championship events. Any amounts raised by the PA will be shared evenly among the athletes named to the 2025 Games team to offset the registration fee.Zone teams are encouraged to do further fundraising events.
At the 2024 Games, athletes benefited from $1650 of funds raised through 50/50 draws and the Epicure Fundraising Program that were organized by the Provincial Advisor. That worked out to $33 per athlete.
Every dollar raised helps the Games athletes with their registration fees. The next Games is in 2026, so that gives 2 years to raise even more funds for the next group of young champions.
When at a BC Championship event, please participate in the 50/50 draws to support fundraising efforts.
If you have ideas for other ways to raise money, please contact the Provincial Advisor.
