Central Island athletes perform well at BC Summer Games
Central Island athletes were very successful at the BC Summer Games in Abbotsford last week.
The Vancouver Island – Central Coast region had the highest medal count with 170.
Jenn Houtby-Ferguson with Pacific Sport says success at the BC Games is often a gateway to bigger things.
“For many athletes this is their first multi-sport Games experience,” said Houtby-Ferguson. “We think of the Olympics coming up here in a couple of weeks as the epitomy of the multi-sport Games experience, but 44% of BC Games athletes go on to compete for Canada on the international stage.”
