Chanting "Who Rocks The House", 341 members of Team BC marched into Halifax Metro Centre Friday to the cheers of a full house of spectators, dignitaries and fellow Canada Winter Games participants from across the country. 

A dozen Prince George athletes and five coaches or managers will be attending the 2011 Canada Winter games, which run Feb. 11 to Feb. 27.

An official send-off for locals headed to the Canada Winter Games showed that Kamloops is proud of its athletes, coaches and officials -- and that Kamloops has a lot of which to be proud. Carolynn Boomer, general manager of PacificSport, kicked off the celebration, held in the lobby of the Tournament Capital Centre.

The Canada Winter Games only happen every four years. Needless to say it's a mighty privilege for those up-and-coming athletes chosen from the South Island.
