The countdown is on! It is only 38 days to go until the start of the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg.
The 2017 Canada Summer Games will bring together 4000 athletes, coaches, managers, and mission staff from Canada's 13 provinces and territories for a multi-sport celebration taking place July 28 to August 13.

Team BC will be supported by a dedicated team of volunteer mission staff led by Chef de Mission, Rob Needham. Meet the mission staff!
