anaimo was host to 3,182 athletes, coaches, and officials from every corner of the province for the BC Summer Games held from July 17-20. A three-time host of the BC Summer Games, Nanaimo once again delivered with over 3,400 volunteers stepping up to feed, accommodate, transport, entertain, and host the best in BC. It was a memorable weekend of competition and celebration. The collective effort of volunteers, business, government, and organizations working together provided, once again, a first rate BC Summer Games experience for everyone involved. A great time was had by all the participants and volunteers at the BC Summer Games! There was some great camaraderie among the teams as well as strong competition and an excellent display of skills. Horse Council BC would like to send a special Thank You to Susan Harrison who worked tirelessly and above and beyond as Sport Chair for Equestrian. Susan and her team were instrumental in making the 2014 Games an amazing event for everyone involved. We’d also like to thank Selena Pellizzari who acted as Provincial Chair and helped to make the experience for the participants an outstanding success. A HUGE THANK YOU must go out to all the coaches, assistant coaches, officials, volunteers, and athletes!
