Midcoast Morning

With the lighting of the torch for the 55+ BC Games having happened this past June 19th and with just over a month and a half until competition starts in September. Today on the show we have former two term Nanaimo City Councillor and Host Society President Diana Johnstone on to talk about the big event. Leann Rose Crook, Director of Participant & Volunteer Services joins her.

The 55+ BC Games, is the province’s largest multi-sport and activity event having first started as the BC Senior Games in 1988 with 650 attendees participating in 15 sports. As the BC Senior Games, it was last held in Nanaimo in 2007, before the games were renamed in 2015. Cancelled in 2020, and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the games returned in 2022 to Great Victoria. Last year in 2024, Salmon Arm hosted.
