Message from the Chefs de Mission
Team BC athletes and coaches represented British Columbia with pride and passion during week one of the 2015 Canada Winter Games. As the host province, our athletes were welcomed whole heartedly by the community of Prince George and delighted the hometown crowds with exceptional performances.
We are now excited to welcome the week two athletes and coaches to the Games and look forward to seeing the action this week. We know you will build upon the momentum of week 1 and excel on the field of play while acting as tremendous ambassadors for Team BC. Enjoy and embrace the Games experience. Our entire volunteer mission team is tremendously honoured to support your efforts.
Team BC is a result of many partners and supporters contributing to ensuring our British Columbia athletes receive the best possible preparation and resources to perform at this marquee national event.
We are ready and we live for this...Go Team BC!

RCMP welcome for Team BC
Week one and week two Team BC athletes received the welcome of a lifetime when they arrived in Prince George with the RCMP providing a full police escort from the tarmac at YXS directly to their Games accommodations at the Coast hotel, where Team BC mission staff excitedly awaited their arrival.
The police escort, complete with sirens and flashing lights, was a highlight for the visiting athletes and was not provided for any other teams.
“It was such an honour to be able to welcome Team BC to Prince George,” said RCMP Chief Superintentant Rod Booth. “Our goal was to give them a bit of a hometown advantage and to make them feel special.”
