Openening Ceremonies
February 25 – 28, 2016
BC Winter Games – Alpine events hosted by Apex Mountain Resort and the Apex Ski Club
As the 2016 BC Winter Games came to a close, Penticton was praised for their volunteers, venues and hospitality during the Games.
Minister of Community Sport, Development and Culture Peter Fassbender said the energy throughout the community was palpable during the Games. "Penticton has a great history," said Fassbender. "The South Okanagan has always opened its arms to tourists and we are going to continue to do that. We are blessed to live in British Columbia."
"Hospitality is in the DNA of the residents of Penticton. The hosting of these BC Winter Games has excelled on so many levels and all of the volunteers and the entire community have so much to be proud of," said Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. "We look forward to seeing the future success of these 1,700 athletes, coaches and officials who performed so well this weekend."
Mann said the vision Mr. Bill Bennett had for the games – bringing families together from the four corners of the province under the banner of sport – continues today, and along with it, the Games provide the beginning of a pathway to higher sport performance.
Penticton 2016 BC Winter Games President Bill Bidlake thanked the tireless effort of the over 1,800 volunteers who made the Games a success. "There is a saying: if you want to go fast, you go alone; but if you want to go far, you go together," said Bidlake. "This weekend shows how far Penticton will go together in showcasing its passion for sport, community and youth."
