Joshua McIndoe named flag bearer for Team BC at 2025 Canada Summer Games

AUGUST 9, 2025

Men’s rugby player Joshua McIndoe will carry the flag for Team BC at Opening Ceremonies of the St. John’s 2025 Canada Summer Games on Saturday.

“It’s an absolute honour,” said McIndoe. “To not only represent my province on the rugby stage, but also to be recognized as our flag bearer is an absolute honour.”

McIndoe is a natural leader on the pitch, serving as captain for BC Rugby’s U16 and U18 teams as well as Canada’s U20 National Team on their recent tour to Fiji. Off the pitch, he gives back to the community by coaching youth players at his club and volunteering at a local shelter.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be taught by great leaders and I’m definitely still learning myself,” added McIndoe.

The Opening Ceremonies will take place at 7 p.m. NDT at the Mary Brown’s Centre in St. John’s. The event will be broadcasted live at canadagames.ca/watch.
